Kayak Along The Blueway On The Green Through This Incredibly Scenic Area Of Kentucky

Hart County is an exciting area of Kentucky that has so much to offer. It may be best known as the home of Mammoth Cave (well, part of the park), Hidden River Cave, and the town of Horse Cave, but that's just the beginning of the fun and adventure to be had in this area. The scenic Green River winds through the county, through the town of Munfordville, and past many beautiful spots, including a waterfall that's only accessible by boat! Known as the "Blueway on the Green," this area is ideal for a scenic kayak trip in Kentucky and an unforgettable adventure.

Perhaps you've been driving along I-65 in Kentucky and noticed the sign for the Munfordville exit. Unless you live in Hart County, you may not realize all of the natural beauty and adventure that awaits when you pull your car off at exit 65.

Hart County is known for its caves, but it is also home to the beautiful Green River. The waterway has come to be known as the Blueway on the Green and you can access it by canoe or kayak for a variety of trips for all levels.

The Blueway offers an impressive 42.5 miles of adventure on the water and the mileage is broken up into multiple trips.

You can see from the map below how the river winds right through the county and that there are multiple access points. One of the best options is the float from the Lynn Camp Creek launch to Rio.

If you do take this route, you'll be lucky enough to paddle up to 300 Springs, a waterfall that's only viewable by boat. It's one of many beautiful spots you'll see along this scenic kayak trip in Kentucky.
