This spring, join Explore Kentucky, Friends of Red River, and Kentucky Waterways Alliance for the Wild and Scenic Red Riverfest, a celebration of the Red River, the only waterway in Kentucky that has this invaluable designation from the National Wild & Scenic River System which keeps it free-flowing and protected. The 2021 edition of the event includes the 7 mile Wild and Scenic Red RIverFest Float Trip, revival of the historic Red River Canoe Race, and virtual fest! We’re proud and thankful for the wonderful partners which helped make this program possible; Kentucky River Authority, Powell County Tourism, Wolfe County Search & Rescue, and Powell County Lions Club.
Organizer: Friends of Red River + Kentucky Waterways Alliance + The Explore Kentucky Initiative
