FLOATING ELKHORN

Floating on Elkhorn Creek is from 11am to 5pm and open to participants to float down as many times as they wish. The float includes one entry point with a “lunchtime” exit point of approx. a 1.5 hour float and a longer exit point of up to a 4 hour float. A wagon will be available for participants at the final exit point to ride back to entry. FLOAT TIMES WILL DEPEND ON THE WEATHER PRIOR TO THE EVENT. These float times are determined by the slowest waterflow of Elkhorn Creek.

LOCATION

Peninsula Park can be found near 101 Payne Avenue in Georgetown, KY. Visitors may enter through Payne Ave. and follow the signs leading to parking and check-in.
