Real Salt River Affects Ice Harbor Usage and Navigation
Salt River, though not navigable, is used as an ice harbor by winter towboats from Pittsburg to the south. The stream rises in the Kentucky hills, empties into the Ohio above Louisville, and is noted for its tortuous, hazardous course. Historically it carried whiskey downriver in flatboats, with slaves often guiding early journeys, and locals say the salt origin behind its name ties to regional features.
