Welcome to Guist Creek Lake. At just over 300 acres, with 20+ miles of shoreline, this is the largest lake in Shelby County and just a short drive from Louisville or Lexington off I-64.
Access is from the Guist Creek Marina (Waypoint included on both North #1 and South #1). There is a $5 per vehicle launch fee. Power boats are allowed and most of these caches are accessible from a jon boat. This is a fishing lake and there is a public fishing access point near the bridge, however, it is CLEARLY POSTED: NO LAUNCHING FROM THIS SITE, and a Shelby County Sheriff's car patrolled the area while we were there grabbing another cache.
While working on the Challenge Caches in the area, we found it hard to believe that a body of water of this size did not sport a wide selection of paddle caches. With a couple yaks, a few containers, and a little time, we have endeavored to solve that problem.
A SHOUT OUT TO SAC for bringing us to this real gem of Shelby County. Hope you enjoy your visit.
The caches have been placed as 2 separate trails - North (Approx 10 miles) and South (Approx 7.5 miles). Most of the caches are zip tied preforms and rx bottles with vinyl logs - bring your Sharpie or similar writing instrument. Tweezers may be a plus. Most were placed without leaving the yaks. Changes in the container types or caches that require to you leave your watercraft will be clearly annotated on the cache page.
