About Sheltowee Trace Outfitters
Sheltowee Trace Outfitters takes its name from the Sheltowee Trace Trail, a 265-mile footpath that extends from Pickett State Park in TN, northeast through the Daniel Boone National Forest to North of Morehead, KY on KY 377. Sheltowee (translated as "Big Turtle") was the name given to Daniel Boone by the Shawnee when he was adopted into their tribe. Seventeen miles of the Sheltowee Trace run along the shores of the Cumberland River, our summer raft trip.
Rick
Egedi, the owner of Sheltowee Trace Outfitters, has been running the rivers
of Kentucky since 1981 and takes great pride on his excellent safety record.
After running a canoe livery on the Rockcastle River for several years, Rick
founded Sheltowee Trace Outfitters in 1983. He started out running rafting
trips on the Big South Fork, and canoe trips on the Upper Cumberland. Sheltowee
Trace Outfitters is a family-run business. His four children, Dania, Ricky,
Michelle, and Keila have all been involved in the business at various points,
as guides, trip leaders, bus drivers, reservationists, and whatever else
needed to be done.
His
oldest daughter, Dania is currently very involved
in running the business. She and her husband Doug recently had their first child (Daniel, b. 11/14/2006).
It doesn't take long though, for most of our employees
to feel like family, and we have a tendency to treat our guests that way
as well. We hope that you will enjoy the atmosphere down here. We are working
at making the STO complex a nice place to just
relax and hang out. So, if you are in the area, come by, say hi, and maybe
we'll even see you on the river!
