Bardstown Whitewater Park Proposal Recieved

Bardstown Whitewater Park
We have recieved a letter of Interest for River Design Services of Municipal Supply and Whitewater Recreation Enhancements from RiverRestorations.org.

The emphasis of the River Recreation Enhancements design will be to enhance the rubble dam on the Beech Fork for whitewater recreation and improved water supply. Proposed is a holistic approach that balances the environment with the recreational facets, as well as facilitating municipal water supply. The project will provide additional community benefits such as: passive enjoyment of the riparian zone, swimming holes, fishing access, and a tourist draw.

Through the efforts of the Bardstown Boaters and Bardstown City Officials we may be soon moving toward Phase 1; Reconnaissance Survey of the Bardstown Whitewater Park. Stay tuned...

  3. We kayaked down the river which was about 2.75 miles. It was calm and so beautiful. There are many points along the river where you can stop, lay out and have lunch. It gets a little crowded once you get to the main beach area but if you're kayaking or canoeing, it's very peaceful. The current isn't strong at all.
