Benson Creek: KY 1005 to Benson Valley Boat Ramp - Frankfort Kentucky Whitewater Kayaking Routes

Benson Creek flows northeast out of Anderson County, through Franklin County to the Kentucky River at Frankfort. Runnable above the confluence of the forks after heavy rains and below the confluence from late fall through the spring, Benson Creek offers a variety of surprises. The waterway is often floated by locals when the water is up, generally November to mid-May following heavy rains.
