The Dixie Belle Riverboat Reopens Monday, June 21!
Over a month after the Dixie Belle riverboat was knocked loose from its dock and sent floating down the Kentucky River, riverboat rides at Shaker Village will resume on Monday, June 21. At that time, the boat will return to its regular operating schedule, running daily at 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Enjoy a relaxing ride aboard the Dixie Belle, Shaker Village's 115-passenger riverboat. Cruise the scenic Kentucky River palisades, along a stretch of river with high limestone cliffs and untouched natural beauty.
One-hour narrated cruises describe the river's diverse ecosystem and the historical importance of the river to the Shakers. During the tour, the Dixie Belle ventures through the oldest exposed rock in Kentucky, and passes under High Bridge, an engineering marvel built in 1877.
Riverboat rides depart from nearby Shaker Landing.
