CLASS II(III) 8.9 miles
The wonderful Kentucky scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything.

This stretch of Plum Creek in Spencer County is 8.9 miles long and it is classified as a class II(III) section by American Whitewater. 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. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near. This stretch is mid length, suitable for an afternoon trip. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking,
either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. Plum Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Wilsonville to Salt River stretch is the only one.
