Day Trip: Can you see Snake Creek Landing? Neither could I 2018-12-31 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Mitzi Bault writes, "A year ago the first week of December Robyn Curry and I were kayaking around Holmes Bend on Green River in the warmer weather." This December brought waters that were too high and a major health challenge to keep the friends from getting out on the water. Mitzi did, however, take me on a sunny day trip to scout conditions on the Snake Creek put-in recently. She pointed out over the water and asked if I could see where the Landing was at the meeting of Snake Creek and Green River. I said no. She directed me to look to the opposite shore then bring my eyes back to about half way in the middle of the water - where some small bushes stuck out of the middle of the river, that's it! Hopefully when summer arrives, her health will have stabilized and the waters will have gotten back to normal levels, and the kayaking team will be out there once again.
