Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Welcome to the heart of bourbon country! There are dozens of distilleries around Kentucky that produce our famous spirit. And between Lexington and Louisville is a concentration of some of the most world-renowned brands along a route known as the Bourbon Trail. Nearly 2.5 million visitors from all 50 states and 25 countries have taken the tour in the last five years alone, and every day thousands more discover the growing international symbol of Kentucky craftsmanship and tradition. Of course, we are proud of our own hometown distiller, Casey Jones Distillery, which enjoys it’s own rich history dating back more than 80 years.
Hopkinsville Rail to Trail Project
The Hopkinsville Rail Trail, currently about 3 miles long, will one day span more than 7 miles along the former Fort Campbell railroad spur. Along the way, the trail offers connections to many business, neighborhoods, and Westside Park. Trail-goers can easily access the park's playground, picnic tables, and grills by crossing a beautiful 130-foot pedestrian bridge spanning the Little River. The trail’s first phase opened in September 2014, and future phases will continue the trail farther south to Tie Breaker Park (on Eagle Way) and Lovers Lane.
Beautiful Lake Barkley
The Lake Barkley region offers a variety of attractions and activities for the whole family, from fishing to boating to just relaxing by the water. Besides water activities, the area also offers biking, hiking, hunting and an abundance of scenic by-ways, along with shops, historical attractions, museums and a fantastic water park. Wildlife flourishes in the many refuges, including golden and bald eagles, making this a popular destination for bird watching and nature photography.
