Wow, brings back memories! It was 1970 or 71. My parents had a 30' Gibson houseboat and they took myself and 3 siblings down the Kentucky river all the way to ft. boonesborough. It was a bunch of locks and we pulled alongside the shore each night. It was an incredible trip and the memories just explode in my mind as i watch this video 50+ years later. Thanks

Great question. I camped on a small shoal in the middle of the river but from what I can tell the banks are all private land. That said, it’s very rural farm land in most cases and I doubt you’d even be noticed. As long as you’re respectful, even if you were noticed, I can’t imagine anyone would much care.

Found this after looking up skiffs to show my wife. We currently own a driveway tax burden “aka sailboat” and want to sell it to fund a river runner. We live in Frankfort. The Ohio river is superior in everyway but its a shame not to use ours when its right here. Ivd been here for 8 years and I really dont understand why the river isnt a focal point for recreation but it really isnt. I think the demographics here dictate that.
