You can put in at Aiken rd and paddle through Vallhalla. Another takeout point is Broad Run Road but you'll have to climb up the rocks under the bridge. The AAA map shows a park at Broad Run which the city plans to expand. Check out weather.gov and click on water. Hover the cursor to find louisville and click on it then click on fisherville. You need at least a foot to navigate.Also the level can rise 2-3 feet in an hour so check the forecast. |

Does anyone rent the water rafting boats and life jackets? Says Ruth Hollon
The writer is incorrect about this section being the only one you can Paddle. The city of Louisville has installed Canoe
| ramps at Miles Park near US 60 and at Fischerville near KY 155 (Taylorsville Rd). You can paddle from Miles Park to Seatonville Rd (13.4 miles). Says MikeB
This stretch of Floyds Fork in Bullitt County is 9.6 miles long and has been rated as a class I section by American Whitewater. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so keep in mind that a large number | |
|
of rivers in this state are quite easy. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. This is a pretty decent length section, you can easily
run it on an afternoon. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The wonderful Kentucky scenery and the playfulness of the water beats anything. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are
sure to keep you coming back for more. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
