The whitewater season just got two weeks longer on Eastern Kentucky’s Russell Fork
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will extend the whitewater season on Eastern Kentucky’s Russell Fork this year by two weeks as part of a pilot program that Kentucky’s whitewater kayaking and rafting community has sought for years. Officials hope the extended season — which will now include the first two weekends of November, as well as four weekends in October — will bring more tourists and revenue to Pike County and Eastern Kentucky. If the extension is welcomed by local residents and does not create any negative unintended consequences, the Corps could make the extension permanent.(SEE STORY HERE)
