130cfs
Jay, Sarah, Beastie and I did this section of water. They canoed, I kayaked. It is a very interesting run. Very easy flat water, with good current and scenery. Jay and Sarah flipped early on, but after that everything was good until we had to portage a mess of trees that were river wide. Overall, it is a great run. I'll head back to it when I want to teach some newbies. Will make a good training ground and has good camping.
The Bardstown Boaters are a whitewater paddling and water conservation group from Bardstown, KY. The club paddles canoes, rafts and kayaks, on everything from easy calm rivers to more technical whitewater runs in all parts of Kentucky and surrounding states.

Cumberland Below the Falls
550cfs (falls gauge)
370cfs (williamsburg gauge)
Me and 29 other Viking Canoe Club members ran the Cumberland river. It was a great day boating. The rapids were not too hard or scary. Though they could change a lot at higher levels. Jim Gunn dislocated his shoulder on Screaming Right, playing in the hole as we left after an hour of playing in that hole. The raft company took him out. The shuttle is slow. I guess that by paddleing out you could save time and money, but be extra tired after a long 5+ miles of flat water paddling. I think the lake needs to be lower than 705' for all the rapids to be in.
