About This Access Site

Located in Fayette County, the site serves as an exit point for kayakers and canoeists who have navigated the upstream sections of Calloway Creek.

The creek in this area of Lexington offers whitewater paddling opportunities suitable for those with varying skill levels depending on water conditions and the specific section being paddled.
