Think of Kentucky, and you think of horses. From the Louisville Zoo’s painted carousel horses to fiercely competitive racing equestrian events at the Kentucky Horse Park, you’ll enjoy Kentucky’s unbridled spirit.
But Kentucky is so much more.
Love the great outdoors? From water to dry land, mountaintops to caves, we give you countless ways to experience “Mother Nature”. Hike the Cumberland Gap, climb the Red River Gorge and walk across Natural Bridge. Kayak a lazy river or catch your own fish for dinner from one of our many lakes.
Walk among the trees in our nearly one-million acres of national forests. Watch the largest elk population east of the Rockies, the black bears roaming the eastern Kentucky mountains, or the soaring eagles that make Kentucky home.
For the most amazing underground unbridled adventure, visit the longest cave system in the world. Mammoth Cave, with more than 350 miles of explored caverns and pathways, has earned its name.
Kentucky has a rich history. The birthplace of Abraham Lincoln; Kentucky Civil War forts and battlefields; Appalachian festivals, art and coal field culture; African American heritage and Native American historic sites such as the Trail of Tears. These characters, settings and events combine to form our storied past.
Experience some of our well-loved traditions by following the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, the Urban Bourbon Trail and the Kentucky Wine Trail. Follow eastern Kentucky’s Country Music Highway or visit Bill Monroe’s (the Father of Bluegrass Music) birthplace in western Kentucky.
Experience Kentucky’s Unbridled Spirit.
