Canoe Kentucky

The CKY team had so much fun on Coldwater Creek, Wakulla River, St. Mark's River, Hillsborogh River, Silver Springs, and Juniper Springs. Thanks to all the outfitters we worked with, like TNT Hidaway, Canoe Escape and Adventures Unlimited. We paddled with alligators, manatees, birds of all shape and size, turtles...and some really great people.Have a school group, corporate group, friends looking for a good time! We will offer you a trip for your group anytime to this area, so let us know when

Kali Sanders is our employee of the week this week. Kali is an intern for us here at Canoe Kentucky, coming to us from Illinois State University, where she has wrapped up her degree in Recreation, only needing to complete her internship. Interns at CKY are asked to do "a little of everything". We ask this of them so that they are able to get a well rounded view of what our business, and our industry, is like.  And Kali has done just that, and done it well. She has worked in the role as Customer

Just released! We have been waiting on this for 4 years, when the material known as Royalex was pulled out of production. Along with it, numerous canoe designs and uses... gone to the wind. But no more. The relase of this new material brings back the perfect canoe for Kentucky type water.
