Whitewater Access Secured for Kentucky’s Elkhorn Creek

American Whitewater has successfully acquired land for a take-out on Kentucky’s Elkhorn Creek. This Class II-III creek is located in central Kentucky and provides some of the closest and most dependable whitewater for a large population of wwboaters in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Confronted with a surprise absolute auction of 4+ acres of land including both creek and road frontage at Knight’s Bridge on Peaks Mill Road near Frankfort, KY, paddlers from around the region dug deep in their pockets, quickly spread the word and raised over $32,000 in a matter of days to secure the property for American Whitewater. This has been a huge success, and clearly demonstrates the powerful ability of the paddling community to quickly join together to enhance and secure whitewater opportunities. A group composed of individuals and paddling organizations have agreed to manage the property, but they still need help and additional funds to improve and prepare the property for use.
