Imagine spending a lazy afternoon checking out the turquoise colored water from the stern seat of a canoe. As you pull into a river left eddy, you spot a Great Blue Heron on the lookout for a "fishy" snack. Suddenly the tip of your fishing pole begins to dance. You reach for it and set the hook, knowing it is one of those famous Elkhorn Smallies. As you reel it in, your partner steadies the boat for you as it has managed to float downstream out of the eddy into a small riffle...

     Does this sound good to you? If so, allow Canoe Kentucky to help set up your next adventure. With over 27 years of experience, we can help you plan the perfect day, or days. Weather you are looking for general canoe, kayak or raft rentals, instruction, or purchasing a boat or gear, we have it all.

     We are located right on the banks of the beautiful and historic Elkhorn Creek. Sometimes refered to as "The Emerald Necklace of the Bluegrass," the Elkhorn offers everything from easy moving water, to adreneline pumping whitewater. It is also perfect for sportsmen, and it is listed as one of the top Smallmouth streams in the Eastern United States.

    Canoe Kentucky offers canoe, kayak and raft rentals year-round on the Elkhorn Creek. We also offer guided trips on numerous other streams across the state. Our paddlesports shop is the largest in the state of Kentucky, and our instructional staff are some of the best around.
