Home base for most of our canoeing trips, Houchins Ferry, is only a mile and a half from our shop and inside the beautiful and historic Mammoth Cave National Park. Located here is a working ferry for ferrying vehicles across the Green River. There are also toilets, a picnic shelter and running water. Limited parking and camping is also available. This is where most trips end.
Fishing is good throughout the year, with the spring and summer months the most productive.
State creel and size limits apply, but a state fishing license is not required within the National Park boundaries. Fishing is permitted only with pole and line, rod and reel, trot and throw lines. Backcountry Use Permits are required and can be obtained from the Headquarters Campground, a ranger or at Green River Canoeing .
