Hickman Creek: KY 1541 to KY 1268 Bridge - Nicholasville Kentucky Whitewater Kayaking Routes

East and West Fork Hickman flow forth from Lexington’s two reservoirs and collect water as they run out of Lexington to Jessamine County. The creek offers some good central Kentucky scenery with woodland and farmland views, similar to those found on Elkhorn Creek (while being a smaller stream). However, Hickman is not as clean as the Elkhorn, in fact in can be downright poor, and the nice view is occasionally disrupted by trash along the creek banks.
