    According to the State Urinal, the deep bend above Strohmeier's may soon be a public access Franklin County park. Place is a mess now with trash.

    ELKHORN CREEK LOCATION MAY BECOME FRANKLIN COUNTY PARK

    By Seth Littrell, Published: February 10, 2015 2:50PM
    A bend on the Elkhorn Creek off of 127 North could become Franklin County’s newest park.
    County planning officials say the location, once the site of a bridge along Old 127, reverted to county control when the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet built the existing road.
    County officials say they hope to clean the area along the bank up while offering a needed public access to the creek.

    In the full-fledged article that came out after I posted this, one of the proponents of this park (the owner of Canoe KY) states, about the deepest hole here, that "Someone actually dove it a few years ago at over 40 feet.”

    I have stepped off the edge of that hole. I didn't touch bottom, but I cannot in any way conceive there is a hole 40 feet deep in Elkhorn Creek. That would astound me.

    Had a pond about 1/2 mile from the creek that was full of fish and in 2 years all you can catch is the bottom.
