Gasper River Description
The Gasper River is one of western Kentucky’s most beautiful rivers. It is a tributary of the Barren River and drains the area between Russellville and Bowling Green. Runnable from mid-November to mid-May, the Gasper flows over a rock, sand, and clay bottom around medium-sized boulders through a small gorge with steep, exposed rock walls rising almost vertically from the river’s edge. It is about 40 to 60 feet wide, and has a few small rapids. It is considered a mid-difficulty stream for canoeing.
