Canoe Kentucky Celebrates 40 years
Allison and Nathan Depenbrock are the second-generation owners of Canoe Kentucky.
From its headquarters on the Elkhorn Creek in the Peaks Mill area of Frankfort, Canoe Kentucky has been providing customers with rental excursions for four decades.
Canoe Kentucky commercially operates on 19 miles of the Elkhorn, and most customers choose either a five-mile or 10-mile trip, said co-owner Nathan Depenbrock.
âYouâll go five miles in about two hours,â he said. âItâs very easy and leisurely. The water, on average, is only about knee deep.â
Canoe Kentucky also offers trips on the Kentucky River. Canoers and kayakers can paddle upstream or downstream as far as they wish and stop near downtown Frankfort at one of several riverside restaurants for a bite to eat.
