**Location & Access:**
Royalty's Camp is a boat ramp providing access to Cane Run and Herrington Lake near Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Located east of town off KY 152, turn left on Cane Run Camp Road to reach the launch. This access point serves paddlers and boaters looking to explore the Cane Run area and the broader Herrington Lake system.
**What to Expect:**
This is one of several public launch options on Herrington Lake. Some facilities on the lake charge a small fee ($5 in some cases) for kayak or stand-up paddleboard launches, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm current fees and operational hours. The lake offers a calm-water paddling environment suitable for kayakers and canoeists of varying skill levels. Parking and amenities may be limited, so arriving early is recommended, especially on weekends.
**Nearby Paddling & Recreation:**
