Canoeing:
Highbridge-Dix River 6 mile paddle
This is our most popular trip. Your group will meet at the private boat ramp in Highbridge, KY and should plan to be on the water for up to 6 hours. This flat water paddle passes under the famous Highbridge, past waterfalls and beautiful palisades. Because all bookings are custom, please call or email to reserve a day and time on the river or to get more information.
All local instructed canoe trips meet at the boat ramp. Put in fees are included in the cost. Paddles and PFD’s (lifejacket's) are provided for all participants and PFD’s must be worn at all times. Trips will run rain or shine unless conditions become unsafe. Please dress to be wet, even if it doesn’t rain, sometimes people fall out, more often they choose to jump out! You will want to pack a few things: sunscreen, bug spray, hat and sunglasses, water bottle, and snacks or a lunch depending on your trip length. You will also NOT want to pack some things. We can take pictures for you, so leave your phone and camera in the car, along with anything else valuable. Even if it is waterproof, it will not do you much good if it is laying in the bottom of the river. A towel or change of clothes is a good idea to leave in the car as well.
Our instructors will give you a quick talk up about safety policies and basic techniques when you arrive, then help you get going on the water. They will be along to lead the trip and keep everyone safe as well. When on the water they can offer expert instruction on paddling techniques, they can tell you about the area, and they can be there in case anyone flips or if there is another emergency.
