Class II Gasper River, KY

A series of floats on Gasper River give a paddler an intimate experience of this gorgeous region where several close relatives of George Washington bought land and settled in the early 1800s. Western Kentucky University produced an excellent website called the Warren County Blueways at www.wku.edu/blueways. The website contains an interactive and printable map with GPS coordinates, access locations, floating mileages and other important information along with links to participating partners. This map corresponds with brown metal markers at locations on the river to avoid confusion and also on the map that accompanies this article. (KYFWR)
