Top 8 Stand-Up Paddleboarding in Kentucky, United States
Famous for Bourbon Country and horse farms, civil war battlefields and beautiful natural parks, Kentucky offers a delightful mix of experiences. You might begin in Lexington, where the 1200-acre Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction. The university adds exciting sports, impressive art and a vibrant student/professor population to the city. Louisville is similar, where renowned Churchill Downs hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest steam-driven river paddlewheeler, hosts enchanting lunch and dinner cruises along the beautiful Ohio River. Next, head south to visit Mammoth Cave National Park for a day of touring the cave (the world’s longest known cave), hiking and canoeing on the Green River. Paducah, Berea, Bowling Green – so many places to explore and enjoy!

The custom “cloud cut” of our platforms and world-class construction enhances this incredible natural resource located just minutes from Downtown Lexington, Ky. You will learn about the historic role this gorge played in our local and national history, about how the unique geology helped shape our communities identity and where the “signature brands” we are known for today came from. Guides will point out seasonally unique flora and fauna that can be enjoyed from these dramatic perspectives, you will hear stories about Daniel Boone as well as lesser known local legends, all while having a great time outdoors!
