River Description
Running through Woodford Co. near Frankfort, Glenns Creek is a playboater’s wonderland at
good water levels. Several perfectly formed class III surf hydraulics are intersperced among
numerous class II drops. Strainers are often a randomly occuring problem and boaters should be
alert for a possible portage around farm fences. Paddler’s generally look to Glenn’s
first after a soaking rain and when the Elkhorn is too high.
