I live near the Florence area in northern KY and I am about to buy my buddy's old kayak off of him (he just bought a new one). I was wondering if anyone knew of any places that wouldn't be too far of a drive for me to put in and take out of the Licking River. My interest is mainly bass fishing in the river.

Also are there any canoe places that will take me and my kayak up river? If so, do you know how much they charge for that?

Thanks!
