Kentucky 418 to Kentucky River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV 1.8 miles
The put-in location is a short drive from Lexington-Fayette, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. This stretch of Jouett Creek in Kentucky is 1.8 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV section. This section is quite short so better bring some good walking shoes. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if
you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The beautiful scenery of Kentucky and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers
here a bit more forgiving, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. There are no other stretches to paddle along Jouett Creek than the Kentucky 418 to Kentucky River stretch.
