Here in Kentucky, we love nothing more than a day spent on the water, whether it’s kayaking to hidden caves or leisurely lounging on a boat (Kentucky is the Houseboat Capital of the World, after all). We’re always up for an adventure, and while the Bluegrass might be best-known for bourbon and derbies, Kentucky is a dark horse when it comes to bucket-list-worthy outdoor recreation. And SUP Kentucky offers what’s quite possibly the most Kentucky adventure ever: stand up paddleboarding through an underground cavern in Red River Gorge.

SUP Kentucky is a traveling adventure company that takes locals and visitors around the state to explore via kayak or stand-up paddleboard.

We’re big fans of the Mine Glow Adventure in Red River Gorge, as it takes cave exploration to a whole other level – a subterranean level, that is.

On this hour-long expedition, visitors get to paddle through an abandoned limestone mine to an underground waterfall! This is easily the most unique way to experience Red River Gorge.

And while this in and of itself is a thrilling adventure, SUP Kentucky just added another fantastic feature to this tour with its clear stand up paddle boards. Now, adventurers can feel as though they are literally walking on water while exploring an underground cave in the heart of Red River Gorge. Talk about an experience for your Bluegrass bucket list!

If you prefer a seated underground paddling adventure, the clear crystal kayaks are another option, providing an equally extraordinary excursion in this underground wonderland.
