and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. This stretch of Salt River in Kentucky is 11.5 miles long and is a class I section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This stretch is long
| enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near.
