The Frankfort Boat Club was founded by J. Stoddard Johnston during the mid 1860s to serve the large recreation craft owned by wealth boaters from Louisville and Cincinnati that made annual pilgrimages up the Kentucky River to Boonesborough. The Frankfort Boat Club Inc was incorporated on May 27, 1935, for the purpose of developing river sports and activities on the river, creating enthusiasm for, and interest in, swimming, fishing and other river sports.
Throughout the long history of the Frankfort Boat Club Inc, there has been an impressive membership of lawyers, doctors and, while serving as Governor of Kentucky, Martha Layne Collins. Today, the members of the Frankfort Boat Club are local river boaters with the same ongoing enthusiasm as the earliest river users, enjoying every free moment to take in the beauty of the Kentucky River that winds its way through the Heart of Kentucky.
