Our next MeetupBarren River - Dam Release Paddle

Where?: Tailwater Park/Barren River Lake

11088 Finney Rd

Glasgow, KY 42141

Who’s coming?: 24 Yes / 9 Maybe

(RSVP deadline: November 13, 2009 7:00 PM)

Looking for a swift paddle?

The dam for Barren River Lake is releasing water in the fall and especially in November. This makes our paddle a fast moving 15 miles that can be completed in about 4.5-5 hours! We will picnic in the scenic Tailwater Park area of Barren River Lake before setting off. This location has restrooms and a nice boat ramp for putting-in. We will take out at HWY 101. Read more
