KY 715 "Concrete Bridge" to KY 77 "Iron Bridge"
This 8.5 mile section begins at KY 715 and twists and turns through the center of the Red River Gorge Geological Area, past Sky Bridge Arch, Tower Rock and Chimney Top Rock. This section is Class I throughout, but numerous sandbars, riffles, and small ledges make the paddling interesting. The middle section is runnable from late fall to early summer most years. The take out will be on the right under the KY 77 bridge.
