Elkhorn Creek near Frankfort, KY is a popular Class I-II+ whitewater run that is often used by paddlers who are relative novices to whitewater. Unfortunately, there is a low head spill over dam owned by the Old Grand Dad distillery on that stream which wants to preserve it so that the impounded water can be used for fire control.
