KENTUCKY
The Welcome Mat is Always Out in Kentucky With six national areas, 50 state parks, and hundreds of recreational, natural, historic, and cultural attractions, Kentucky abounds in travel opportunities. From the hills and hollows of eastern Kentucky through the rolling bluegrass of our heartland to the massive lakes and flatlands of the west, Kentucky has much to offer. Each of Kentucky’s travel regions – Western Waterlands, Bluegrass Heartlands, Scenic Wonderlands, and Eastern Highlands – has its own charm and personality. From the huge lakes to festive river towns, Kentucky’s Western Waterlands Region offers sun and fun for the entire family. You will find surprises on every stop of the road. One of Kentucky’s giant outdoor recreation areas is the Land Between the Lakes – Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley area. Every member of the family will find something here for a great vacation.

Kentucky Lake is nationally known for crappie fishing and inland sailing. Lake Barkley’s countless bays and inlets and sparsely developed shoreline are perfect for exploring and quiet relaxation. The 40-mile long peninsula that lies between these huge lakes – Land Between The Lakes – is a World Biosphere Reserve with 300 miles of undeveloped shoreline for waterfront and RV camping, swimming, fishing, riding, and hiking. Private and state resorts on both lakes provide every kind of vacation option, and there are plenty of attractions for days off the water. Western Kentucky is rich in music history. The father of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe, was born in Rosine in Ohio County; while W.C. Handy, the father of the blues, called Henderson home for 10 years. John Prine, Merle Travis and the Everly Brothers have Muhlenberg County ties; Boots Randolph was born in Trigg county. The Bluegrass Hall of Fame and Museum, headquartered in Owensboro, puts on the annual ROMP festival, June 26 - 29 in 2019. Thousands of fans from all

Kentucky is known the world over for its special and diverse natural beauty. Hundreds of thousands of visitors come each year to enjoy the scenery no matter what the season. A great way to see it all is to follow Kentucky’s designated Scenic
Byways. Chosen for their appeal in portraying the geographic beauty, all also have historical and cultural significance. Some byways travel past limestone palisades, waterfalls, and spring houses, skirting magnificent horse farms rimmed in fences of stone and plant. Some routes are lined with stately mansions, quaint homes and country churches, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. Old Frankfort Pike, chosen one of the nation’s top ten byways, features savanna woodlands reminiscent of the Bluegrass landscape before colonial settlement. Located within a day’s drive of over half the U.S. population, Kentucky is a beautiful and historic destination. You are sure to find something to spark your interest. Bourbon, music, crafts, cultural heritage, horses and history are a small sampling of what is available throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

major concerts and a whole lot more. Whether it’s a Bluegrass jam session or a symphony orchestra concert, an apple festival or an art opening, Kentucky can fill your calendar in a heartbeat. Whether you’re looking for an historic inn, a quaint bed-andbreakfast, a rustic cabin or an affordable hotel near attractions, Kentucky is one of the most accommodating places you’ll ever find. Choose your location and the features you desire and plan a great stay.
