You can put in at either Dennision or Green river ferry, and float to Houchins ferry.

I lived in Lexington for three years and explored that area as well as the Red River Gorge. Beautiful pics. What camera/lenses did you use? Did you have a car where you exited the river to drive you back or did you just portage?

Excellent pictures. We have a couple caves in my area, but nothing to that extent. I am going to have to get down there some time.
Was that a bear skull?

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. What snakes are those? Is the speckled one a copperhead?

Wonderful pictures of a beautiful place. I live in Hopkins County, heart of the Western Ky. coalfield. I could get lost(on purpose) in a setting like that. Closest place around here that looks like that is Pilot Rock. Once again, wonderful pictures.

Great pics, I see now why the Indians fought so hard to keep it. Too many snakes for me.
