About This Access Site
Put In is a whitewater access point located on Big Brushy Creek in Rowan County, Kentucky. This put-in serves as a launch site for paddlers looking to run whitewater sections of the creek. Big Brushy Creek offers whitewater paddling opportunities typical of eastern Kentucky limestone-region streams, which can vary significantly based on water levels and recent rainfall. The creek's character and difficulty can change with seasonal conditions, so paddlers should scout conditions or check with local paddling communities before launching.

As a whitewater-focused access point, this site is primarily designed for kayakers and canoeists seeking moving water paddling experiences. The area serves the local paddling community and is situated in Rowan County's central Kentucky region. Paddlers should be aware that water levels and hazards can vary considerably throughout the year, and conditions should be evaluated before each trip.
