Description

Pass under the Peaks Mill Road bridge (KY 1900), then take out on river left.

The first take out (very close to the bridge) is for Canoe Kentucky customers.

The public take out is about 100 yards below the bridge. The take out is owned by American Whitewater and managed by local boating clubs: Bluegrass Wildwater Association, Vikings Canoe Club, and the Elkhorn Paddlers. There is a sign with a Venmo QR code on it where you can donate money to American Whitewater to help maintain this take out for the whole community. 

The photo shows the field flooded during very high water.

(Subsequent improvements have been made here.)
