KWA is excited to be embarking on several partnerships to help increase recreational access to the Red River. A recently awarded
Wild and Scenic Stewardship Partnership grant
from
River Network
will support KWA’s partnership with the
U.S. Forest Service out of Daniel Boone National Forest
to restore the canoe access at
Big Branch Canoe Launch
on the Upper Red River. The effort will celebrate KY’s only nationally protected Wild & Scenic River through streambank restoration, environmental education, and cleanups for river health and enjoyment for more people now and in the future.
Led by the
Friends of Red River,
a KWA-affiliated local watershed group dedicated to increasing water quality and navigability in the Red River, a new canoe launch is slated to be constructed in Rosslyn, KY to access the Red River. This is made possible by partnering with Powell County Fiscal Court and
Shiloh United Methodist Church
and is funded by the
Kentucky River Authority,
Stanton Tourism and Stanton Parks & Recreation.
