August Paddle Trip on Beargrass Creek
On Sunday, August 13, we will set out on a three-hour cruise on Beargrass Creek - in the heart of Louisville, KY - with River City Paddlesports. Using 30-foot Voyageur Canoes we will explore the lower reaches, the back water, of Beargrass Creek. Paddling on one mile of the Creek we are able to witness the impact of our community on the ecological and aesthetic environment. Beargrass drains 61 square miles of Jefferson County and is comprised of three forks - Muddy Fork, the Middle Fork and the South Fork. For more details about the trip, click HERE.
