This is a 12-mile kayak trip that navigates you down Tygarts Creek which cuts Kentucky's most scenic limestone gorge.  You will be on the creek for at least 7 hours. If you have not figured it out “BYOK” stands for bring your own kayak. The park provides the transportation shuttle from the Welcome Center and guides for your trip down the creek.  Along the way we will see high cliff sides and the natural beauty that the spring has to offer.  We will also take a side trip into one of Kentucky’s largest natural limestone tunnels.  Required Equipment includes; kayak, paddle, PFD (life jacket), and the correct attire for cool weather paddling, a complete change of clothes, treaded footwear, flashlight (for natural tunnel visit), sack lunch, bottled water and a dry bag for your supplies.  The cost is $25 per person. Limited space available, pre-registration is required.  Call the Recreation Department to Register.  Participants meet at the Welcome Center at 9:00am. We will load your kayaks on our trailer at the Welcome Center then head for the put in point.  This trip can be canceled due to high/low water levels and/or extreme weather conditions.
