Visiting Kentucky on Your Next Road Trip

From bluegrass horse country and lakeside retreats to mountains, rushing rivers, forests and cool caverns, Kentucky’s visitors find a bonanza of natural marvels. RVers enjoy Kentucky not only for its natural beauty, but for its fantastic Kentucky campgrounds and higher end Kentucky RV camping resorts.

Kentucky’s northern bluegrass heartland is the home region of Big Bone Lick State Park in Union. The name makes more sense when you realize that this once swampy territory of mastodons, mammoths and sloths is considered the “Birthplace of American Vertebrate Paleontology.” The fossilized remains of Ice Age animals which wandered swamps and springs in search of salts and minerals now provide important clues to prehistoric life in Kentucky. And while Big Bone Lick was formerly the home of ancient bison, today’s park has a range that’s inhabited by a managed herd of modern American buffaloes. Of course, there’s more to do than simply learn about Kentucky‘s Ice Age. Visitors here can walk the Discovery Trail boardwalk over a marsh, fish for bass or bluegill, stroll around the lake or play a round of miniature golf on a course with a panoramic view of Kentucky‘s heartland.  

In the “Bluegrass State’s” western waterlands, Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area at Golden Pond is a 170,000-acre strip of land that separates Lakes Kentucky and Barkley and stretches into the neighboring state of Tennessee. This World Biosphere Reserve has hundreds of miles of undeveloped shoreline plus hiking, biking and horse trails winding past valleys, meadows and waterways. Plus find close by Kentucky camping too. Woodlands Nature Station at Golden Pond Visitor Center offers guided backcountry and canoe excursions, birding programs, and a wildlife observation area showcasing such critters as owls and red wolves. Another interesting tour at Land Between the Lakes is the self-guided drive through the Elk and Bison Prairie and Range.
