CLASS IV 2 miles
The nature scenery of Kentucky and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. The Kentucky 1845 to Kentucky River stretch of White Oak Creek in Garrard County is 2 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class IV section of whitewater. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations
in advance you're all set. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great
reasons to come. If you're coming from Danville it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times.
