Event Details
The KY Lake Paddle Up is a family-friendly paddle event sponsored in partnership by The City of Calvert City, the Calvert Area Development Association (CADA), and the Tennessee RiverLine. Paddlers are invited to the 2025 KY Lake Fall Paddle Up on Saturday, October 4, launching at 9 a.m. from Sledd Creek Boat Ramp and finishing at the Kentucky Dam Village Beach Boat Ramp.
Participants are asked to have kayaks at Sledd Creek by 8:30 a.m. Please coordinate with a friend so one vehicle is staged at the Kentucky Dam Village Beach Boat Ramp before launch. Drop kayaks at Sledd Creek (event staff will monitor boats), then take a vehicle to the Kentucky Dam Village Beach Boat Ramp so your car is waiting at the take-out.
This year’s Paddle Up offers two routes/experiences:
- Leisure Paddle: A relaxed, self-paced float from Sledd Creek to the Kentucky Dam Village Beach Boat Ramp.
- Exploratory Geology Paddle: Join local geology enthusiast John Tilson along the Kentucky Lake shoreline to learn about visible rock formations and fossils on the way to the take-out.
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.
Thank you to Pathway Baptist Church for providing a shuttle to and from take-out and launch.

Checkin: 8:00 AM – 8:45 AM
Safety and Overview: 8:45 AM
Shuttle Service: 7:30 AM – 8:30 AM
Paddle Day Take-off: 9:00 AM

Having spent her entire life in Marshall County, Bacon is a dedicated mother and a full-time professional who loves life’s simple pleasures. Juggling the responsibilities of raising two sons and two dogs, she still finds time for her own joy, which includes a deep appreciation for yoga, food, live shows, her love for the outdoors, and a diverse range of music.
Her mission is to create a safe, judgment-free space where individuals can prioritize self-care and mindfulness.
“I want my class to be a sanctuary for people to take a break from the demands of life, connect with yourself, and breathe. All levels are welcome. I encourage my yogis to listen to their bodies and adjust as needed. This is your practice, and my goal is for you to leave feeling good and relaxed both physically and mentally,” expressed Bacon.
Residents of Calvert City are invited to join in on this exciting yoga journey, fostering connections with others and embracing the myriad benefits of yoga.
Yoga mats will not be provided. Children are allowed but must be accompanied by an adult. Classes will be held once a week on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. at the Calvert City Civic Center. There is no charge
