Kentucky offers a memorable family getaway
Experience state parks, fishing, golf, horses, Kentucky Derby
Make your next getaway an “unbridled” trip to Kentucky. With thousands of miles of shoreline along Kentucky’s many lakes and rivers, the largest waterfall south of Niagara (Cumberland Falls), the mountains in the east and the longest cave system in the world in the west (Mammoth Cave), just to name a few, there is something to fit everyone’s interest.
Join us as we continue to celebrate the life and times of one of Kentucky’s favorite sons, President Abraham Lincoln. Visit his birthplace in Hodgenville and see where Mary Todd Lincoln spent her formative years in Lexington.
Experience our unique culture and history of music, bourbon and barbeque. Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass, was born near Owensboro and the International Bluegrass Museum in Owensboro leads you through its early roots to present-day, world-wide popularity. Located in the heart of Kentucky, the Kentucky Bourbon Trail includes eight distilleries with guided tours that give the background of this renowned Kentucky product. Barbeque can be slow cooked anywhere, but western Kentucky has the market on the best tasting product around.
Kentucky is famous for its love of horses, and while we’re known world-wide for the Kentucky Derby, we also have other exciting equestrian events to offer. Next year the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games will be held for the first time outside of Europe at our Kentucky Horse Park.
Our Kentucky State Resort Parks offer a memorable family experience any time of the year. With unique parks across the state, you can enjoy golf, boating, fishing, caving, camping, hiking, outdoor drama or just a peaceful day besides a pool. Come see why we feel our parks are “The Nation’s Finest.” |
