Family Canoe Trips a Floating Success

Making Memories

Have you ever considered taking your family on a canoe trip? Cave Country Canoes suggests you consider taking one of their half-day or full-day trips to make memories with your family. Our facility in Milltown, Indiana has operated on Blue River and served the Kentuckiana area for over 30 years.

Indiana’s River Country

The region includes 15 counties bordering the Ohio River. The state tourism department has given this area the nametag “Indiana’s River Country” in recognition of its’ outstanding waterways. The most pristine tributary is the Blue River, Indiana’s first scenic river. The Blue is highly regarded by canoe enthusiasts as one of Indiana’s premier paddling destinations.

Blue River drains much of southern Indiana’s extensive cave area. Springs flowing from the high limestone bluffs along the river are now running full. Marengo Cave National Landmark reports its stalactites are again dripping at normal rates. This activity indicates the saturation level of springs that feed the river.
