Great Crossings provides a single-lane concrete boat ramp for accessing North Fork Elkhorn Creek in Georgetown. While best suited for smaller watercraft, the ramp accommodates kayaks, canoes, and small jon boats, with a carry-down option available. The site offers bank fishing access and a walking trail that parallels the creek, making it useful for both paddlers and anglers. Free parking is available at the location.
Paddlers should be aware of a dam located downstream on the Great Crossings pool along Robinson Road, which may affect your paddling route and trip planning. An alternative put-in exists near the dam on Robinson Road where canoes can be hand-launched, though no formal ramp is available there. The North Fork Elkhorn Creek flows through Kentucky's scenic bluegrass region, offering a popular recreational paddling destination. Plan your trip accordingly based on dam locations and water conditions before launching.
