Elkhorn Creek
Elkhorn Creek brings the adventure—canoeing, kayaking, floating and fishing—but doesn’t forget about the scenery. It is one of Kentucky’s loveliest and longest and most paddled streams, undulating along a curving shoreline, beneath the historic Switzer Covered Bridge and past rock bars and water willow beds.
Providing 17 miles of adventure, two forks of Elkhorn Creek join east of Frankfort and continue through Scott County and to its end at the Kentucky River. Drop a line for smallmouth bass (Elkhorn is considered one of Kentucky’s best smallmouth bass streams) as well as largemouth bass, rock bass and bluegill.
