A new book by Susan Reigler with photographs by Pam Spaulding. Susan spent a year visiting all fifty-two of our state parks. Beyond the basic information on facilities and attractions, Susan’s keen eye reports on interesting things to do in the vicinity of the parks as well. There’s enough here to keep [...]

I’ve now paddled Floyds Fork from Ash Avenue in Oldham County to its end. Sehlinger’s Canoeing and Kayaking Guide lists the Bells Mill to Salt River section at 7.87 [...]
