Rockcastle

This river is one of Kentucky's best for many reasons. The beauty of the rock structures, giving this river its name is one. Two, the rapid section from beech to bee rock above 2500cfs is some of the best set of rapids you will find in this state. I have run this section at 3200cfs and it is a blast, but starting to flush. 2200cfs to 2500cfs is the best level for surfing. There are a hand full of surf spots that you can play in until your heart desires, or until you are so tired that you think you may have to save some energy to procede to take out. Don't let high cfs #'s turn you off of this section. I think that this river is more dangerous at lower levels, ie 800cfs or below, than above 1500cfs. Be safe and have fun but always know your skill level. This section of river is a true Class IV river, at low or high water.
