Louisville Area Canoe and Kayak Paddling Wiki

Paddling Destinations

This is intended to be a short index of notable paddles of interest to flatwater paddlers near Louisville, Ky. It is not intended to be a complete index of all possible paddling locations within a certain distance. We'd like the index to include most descent destinations in and around Louisville, and only notable paddles outside of Louisville that warrant the drive. For an index of whitewater paddling destinations, see American Whitewater
