The next TRR event is scheduled for Aug. 13 at High Bridge near Wilmore. Here are the directions to the put-in that we will be using

Head out of Wilmore, south to High Bridge, before you go under bridge turn right onto road down to the river. Put in is a parking area at bottom of hill on the left. See you there around 6:00. We will put on the water at 6:30. I hope to see a lot of BWAers there.

Britt and I will be there...hope to see others as well. It should be a great spot for some kayak football!

Putting it on my calendar.

Hey guys.....I really would like to to try and make this.

Not sure if anyone is familiar with it but from underneath High Bridge you can paddle UP the tail waters of the Dix river. If you've never done it I highly recommend it. The water is crystal clear, cold, and full of trout. The cliff walls are magnificent and there is actually a riffle you can paddle up to.....and down if you like. It's like traveling to a different land and unlike any scenery really found along the KY River.

I second Wavey's suggestion. That stretch of the Dix is stunning.

I'm going to try to make it Thursday night as well. Will let you all know for sure closer to the date.

I agree with that as well, I'd hold off on the football and save your strength for the Dix (might want a longer kayak or canoe as well)

Don

Quick estimate on Google Earth... 3/4 mile from put-in to mouth of Dix - wouldn't have time to go up the river that far, but scenery is still worth it.

Just a reminder of Thursday TRR trip.

This is a private ramp, isn't it? Do we need to bring $ to launch? What is it, $3 or $5 per boat?

Don

You guys can launch from shakertown @ shaker landing for free. Let me know if anyone is interested.
