Shuttle Services Blue Heron, Yamacraw, Alum Ford, 927

Awesome! Our kind of fun in the sun too! We live for float trips like this!

What every reason for bringing your specific type of watercraft to the Big South Fork Cumberland River, see below Bluewater Trail Map for Put-In and Take-Outs.  Big South Fork Adventures is here to support you with a shuttle service.  Our guides will meet you at the Take Out and shuttle you and/or your party to the put in.  The Blue Heron Float is an excellent choice too, you just have to choose how far do you want to go!

Blue Heron Float Description

The next section begins at Blue Heron and ends at Alum Ford boat ramp. This part of the river offers some different floats. A family could make a half-day 2 ½-mile float from Blue Heron to Worley or continue on to the KY 92 bridge at Yamacraw for a 5-mile float.  Families and beginners should try the 8-mile stretch from Yamacraw to the Alum Ford Boat Ramp. This mainly flatwater section covers the headwaters of Lake Cumberland; although the lake’s lower level makes this section more interesting than in the past. Be prepared to encounter motor boats on this float.  The Big South Fork between Blue Heron and Yamacraw offers excellent fishing, especially in spring. The area just below Devil’s Jump produced smallmouth bass over 21 inches long and in excess of 5 pounds in the past decade. ​​
