If you have your own boats and want to access the creek on your own, directions can be gleaned from items 1. c. and 1. d., and for the longer trip, a few items from 2. Canoe Kentucky does not allow private boaters who have not purchased their boats from Canoe Kentucky, to access the creek at any of our private accesses. There are private accesses within 3/4 mile of each Canoe Kentucky private access.

Private boat options if you are in a group that has renting customers and someone (s) who had their own canoes, kayaks, SUP's or rafts:

1. FUN FLOAT - Knights Bridge to Canoe Kentucky
2. All renting customers must check in at Canoe Kentucky and ride the shuttle to our put-in location to participate in the safety briefing. DO NOT MISS YOUR SHUTTLE or you will have to catch the next one and delay your trip
3. Renting customers will exit the creek at Canoe Kentucky store. There is a large banner with name and logo on our back porch.
4. Personal boaters can stop for restroom, snacks, and info unless the area is congested. We have extremely limited access. Our exit process is in place to ensure safety and efficiency for our rental customers, equipment, and staff
5. Personal boaters park, unload their gear, and wait at American Whitewater. Elkhorn Acres (AW) access at 4235 Peaks Mill Rd., directly next door to the Canoe Kentucky access at Knight's Bridge.
   
6. This access is ~75 yards down stream on the same side of the creek that renting customers will access. Those at AW access will see renting customers get on the water just upstream.
7. At take-out time, personal boaters will paddle ¾ mile downstream to Peaks Mill bridge at intersection of 1264 & 1707. Exit to the right just as you go under the bridge.
8. If renting customers have a vehicle at our private parking (with approved pass,) they can pick up personal boaters downstream. If not, contact Robby’s shuttle service. The number for this is located at the bottom of this post.

1. ALL DAY ADVENTURE - Knights Bridge to HWY 127 Bridge - *halfway stop at Canoe Kentucky
2. Follow steps above excluding exit at Peaks Mill Bridge.
3. Renting customers will stop at Canoe Kentucky to check in with customer service and set a pick up time.
4. Renting customers and personal boaters can exit together at county owned access HWY 127 bridge. Private boaters will have to arrange their own shuttle.
5. Renting customers will ride the Canoe Kentucky shuttle back to the store for check out.

-Forks of Elkhorn Access: 3866 Georgetown Rd
