Lake Linville
There is no swimming area on Lake Linville unless you take your boat out to the middle of the lake and dive in....Lake Linville is so much fun! Instead of having to wait for the fourth of July they have fireworks on July first. It's always fun to go there on a nice, hot sunny day....My family and I love camping at Lake Linville. Everyone is friendly and we always have a great time!...

Calloway Creek
20 miles away
Calloway Creek is in danger. A developer from Lexington is planning to put 2300 homes and apartments on the pallisades just above the Kentucky River. Calloway Creek is definitely in danger. The local residents are trying to stop development and have been somewhat successful until this spring. The Developer still doesn't have approval to develop, but he is starting to bulldoze roads in the flood plain. He claims it is for agricultural access, but he has drawn up plans and submitted to local authorities. He has been turned down, but he continues to fight. We need help from environmentalists to stand against this development. Please private message me if you have any ideas. My email address is wheelkat @gmail. com...

Hickman Creek
26 miles away
I have been rideing this strectch of creek about 4 times a summer for the past six years. Woundn't call it rapids though, most of the time it is quite shallow, alot of packing your boat. Flood water is a differt story. It's quite dangerouse but it can be done, I was able to navigate 9 miles of the creek while flooding before I lost my kayak to the creek. Beautiful ride though, bring a fishing pole, lots of small fish!...
