East Fork to Kentucky 388 bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The starting location is a short drive from Richmond, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The scenic beauty of Kentucky and the water flowing gracefully down Otter Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so you'd better keep
in mind that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This section is quite short so better bring some good walking shoes. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are
lots of good rivers for that around here. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here.
