NOTES ABOUT THE USE OF THESE CHARTS AND THE INFORMATION PRESENTED:These charts were originally developed in 1966 by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers as freehand drawings based on U. S. Geological Survey maps current at that time. Since the charts are no longer available through the Corps of Engineers, the Kentucky River Authority contracted he U. S. Geological Survey in 2001to reproduce these charts in a form which could be edited. Most of the features of the charts show the same information as the last update by the Corps of Engineers in 1988. The Kentucky River Authority has updated features important to boaters such as: locations of ramps, docks and other points of recreational interest. The edits were not based on detailed field survey and the Authority welcomes any corrections or additions of information on these charts. The width of the river is distorted to approximately twice its scale size in order to show the detail of features. The depth of the channel along the sail line is estimated to be no less than 6 feet, however water conditions continually change the bottom contours of the river. Therefore the Kentucky River Authority therefore does not warrant the actual depth of the channel at any location and warns boaters to be alert to shallow areas and other navigational hazards. Historically known hazards such as shoals and bars are shown based on best available information. These hazards change shape and location over time but generally exist near any stream confluence and boaters should be on alert when approaching these areas. Mile points are numbered consecutively traveling upstream from the mouth of the Kentucky River near Carrollton. Some inaccuracies exist in mile-points to agree with historic locations of well known features on the river. Features are denoted as being on the left or right hand bank when facing downstream.

Boaters should use extreme caution while boating near the Locks and Dams. Restricted areas and Danger areas are marked on these navigation charts and these areas are marked with “Keep Out” and “Danger Dam” buoys. The buoys are subject to shifting during high water, so boaters should observe the restricted area limits when buoys are not present.

The dams on the Kentucky River are classified as “low-head dams” which inherently present a greater danger to boaters. Upstream of these dams, it is difficult to determine the dam’s existence, since it blends with the horizon. Because there is constant overflow, the velocity of flow increases as you approach the dam, and can pull a boat over the dam quickly.

Downstream of the dams, the overflow creates a powerful circular hydraulic which can continuously pull a boat underwater and trap it.

Boaters are also asked to stay out of the approach area to the locks unless intending to lock through. During operation of the locks a rush of water could capsize a small craft.

To report a spill of hazardous material or other pollution concern please call the Kentucky Division of Water hot line at 800-928-2380 or 502-564-2380.

To report an accident, drowning, missing person or fish & wildlife violation, please call the Fish and Wildlife Hot Line at 800-252-5378.

To report a navigational hazard, please call the U.S. Coast Guard at 502-582-6439 or the Corps of Engineers at 502-315-6692.

For any of the above situations call the Kentucky River Authority at 502-564-2866 during weekday hours.

The Kentucky River Authority wishes everyone safe and enjoyable recreational use of the Kentucky River.
