The natural beauty of Woodford County and the water flowing gracefully down Glenn's Creek attract people from near and far.

Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more.
