The Event

Rough River State Park is the site of the Annual Ky EAA Sport Aviation Weekend. We will have flying activities, judging of pilot’s landing abilities, and just plain fun getting together with old friends and making new ones.  Accommodations include rooms at the Lodge and cabins in the wood and wing camping on the field with showers and toilets nearby,  State Park Lodge room and cabin reservations can be made by calling 1-800-325-1713 (be sure to mention Sport Aviation Weekend).  If you need to cancel your reservations Rough River State Park says they must be cancelled by the end of July.
