(Copperhead) is pleased to submit the attached proposal to analyze approximately 122 miles of river and stream associated with the Licking River from Paris, Kentucky to the Ohio River to evaluate the potential for outdoor recreation and tourism. We have assembled a team of biologists, GIS specialists, archeologists, economic developers, recreational specialists, planners, and watershed specialists to support this project. Along with Copperhead biologists, planners, and writers, we have partnered with Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc. for archeological and historical services, EHI Consultants to support economic analyses and plan development, OutrageGIS Mapping to support mapping, and the University of Kentucky to develop initial outreach products for this project. Our multi-faceted expertise makes us ideally suited to serve your environmental service needs. The following document outlines select project experience examples and implementation plans. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or clarifications needed. Sincerely, Marty Marchaterre Environmental Planner (859) 684-9387 [email protected] OVERVIEW Kentucky’s natural resources are a tourism draw for residents of the Commonwealth and visitors alike. The Licking River watershed is home to navigable waters, interesting plant and animal species, attractive geological features, fascinating historical and archeological stories, and an overall natural beauty. The Licking River, along with the South Fork of the Licking River and Stoner Creek from Paris, Kentucky to the Ohio River near Cincinnati, Ohio (hereafter referred to as the Study Corridor), has the potential to be promoted for outdoor recreation and tourism through fishing, boating, bird watching, heritage tourism, and educational opportunities, to name a few.

    Major Licking River Watershed County Profiles The Licking River Watershed or River Basin physically includes Magoffin*, Morgan*, Rowan*, Bath*, Fleming*, Bourbon, Harrison*, Nicholas*, Robertson*, the majority of Pendleton*, and parts of Menifee*, Montgomery, Clark, Elliott, Lewis, Mason, Bracken, Campbell*, Kenton*, Boone, and Grant counties.1 The Licking River Region report also includes Gallatin and a portion of Carroll counties. Hinkston and Stoner Creeks join in Bourbon County to form the South Fork of the Licking River which joins the main stem in Falmouth. The North Fork joins the Licking River near Sunrise, north of Claysville, in Harrison County, around its northern border with Pendleton County. The North Fork forms the border between Bracken and Robertson counties. The Licking River was officially discovered by Thomas Walker in June of 1750 who named it Frederick’s River. The Native Americans called it Nepernine and used the river to transport goods for trade and to travel to the central Kentucky grassland areas for hunting. Charles Kerr’s History of Kentucky (1922) says that the Licking means “land with springs and meadows.” An earlier name, Great Salt Lick Creek, referred to the salt licks along the river. The Licking River was first officially surveyed in 1835. The Licking River is noted to be 320 miles long. The Licking River was an important route of transportation for timber operations that floated logs down the river to Covington. Cave Run Lake, the only impoundment on the river, was formed in 1974. It has a summer pool of approximately 8,200 acres. Cave Run Lake is one of the most productive muskie fisheries in the Eastern United States.
