Elkhorn at 4,500cfs?
Sunday, October 29, 2006 Trip Reports

Even with GAF and the Rendezvous going on this
weekend there was still a good crowd running the
Elkhorn this day. The weather was pretty good and the
Elkhorn was running so of course I had to get on it.
I had never been on it this high. 3,500cfs was my
high before this. It was actually pretty washed out
at this level. The water moves fast, you don't even
need to paddle.Read More...

Paddlers to Race Kentucky Gorge
Monday, October 23, 2006 News '06
SAMIRA JAFARI - Associated Press
ELKHORN CITY, Ky. - Gerald DeLong has paddled whitewater rapids across the country for nearly 30 years, but it's an eastern Kentucky river that courses through his veins.
Like the thousands of others who have kayaked, canoed and rafted their way down the Russell Fork River, a 15-mile stretch of water from Virginia to Kentucky, DeLong finds its rocky twists, turns and treacherous gorge irresistible.Read More...

On this Saturday Jay and I finally made our long
awaited run down the Red River Gorge. We were the
only paddlers on this stretch this day as the level
was a bit on the low side. But for our fist run this
just what we wanted. A low level, so we could test
the gorge and see what it is all about. And beauty is
what it's all about. Read

First of all there is no alcohol allowed at Stone
Cliff. Any drinking of alcohol at Stone Cliff is in
violation of the law. The Bardstown Boaters had no
trouble with this rule because we follow all rules
and regulations. I'm just saying it to warn others
who might think they can out wit the park ranger. So
according to the signs at Stone Clif, there are bears
and there is no drinking of alcohol.Read

Elkhorn Creek

1400cfs
What a great capper to the weekend, after having the Poker Run on Saturday I was able to catch the Elkhorn at a good level for Sunday. I paddled with a group of Vikings.
Lots of little play waves were in. The left side at Angioplasty was the better option of the two at this level. The run this day got me thinking about having an Elkhorn race. Beautiful day for paddling.
