Event Details

It is with regret that the City of Calvert City announces the cancellation of the KY Dam Fall Paddle Up, originally scheduled for October 5, 2024, at 9:00 AM at the KY Dam Boat Launch.

 

Due to rising and swift currents on the Tennessee River caused by upstream rainfall, event organizers, after consulting with the Marshall County Rescue Squad, have determined it is unsafe to proceed. “Each year we look forward to partnering with the Tennessee RiverLine and Calvert Area Development Associations (CADA) to host a spring and fall paddle event. We are disappointed to have to cancel this year’s event. Still, the safety of our participants is our top priority,” said Blair Travis, director of marketing, communications, and business development for the City of Calvert City.

 

We want to thank everyone who registered for the event and hope to see you at the next Paddle Up in 2025. For new dates, please follow us on Facebook @calvertcityky. For further questions, contact Calvert City Hall at 270-395-7138.

 

—————————————————————————–
The KY Dam Fall Paddle up is a family-friendly paddle event in partnership with the City of Calvert City and the Tennessee RiverLine. Registration begins September 17 with 12 kayaks available to reserve.
Save the date for October 5 for a paddle down the Tennessee River. Bring a kayak, canoe, or any other worthy paddle craft for a trip from KY Dam Boat Ramp to Haddox Ferry.
Beginning at 8:00 AM, drop your kayaks off at the KY Dam Boat Ramp just below Kentucky Dam and take your vehicle to Haddox Ferry. A shuttle service provided by Pathway Baptist Church will shuttle you from Haddox Ferry back to your kayak at KY Dam Boat Ramp for a leisurely group paddle five miles downriver to Haddox Ferry. Expect to be on the water for two hours. Lunch will be provided via a voucher to local restaurants to all pre-registered paddlers.
For those who do not own a kayak but want to participate, 12 kayaks are available to reserve. The deadline to register is September 20. Bring your own, or use one of the rentals for this fun-filled event on the river.
Marshall County Rescue Squad will be on-site floating alongside the group. All paddlers are required to wear a life jacket and know how to swim. A brief safety course will be held before the launch of the group.
