With the world’s longest known cave system living up to its name at Mammoth Cave National Park, the “Niagara of the South” at Cumberland Falls, the “Grand Canyon of the South” at Breaks Interstate Park and Kentucky’s own great lakes — Kentucky, Cumberland and Barkley — Kentucky is a natural outdoor playground with something for everyone.
Come celebrate a year of milestones with us: the 150th anniversary of the Kentucky Derby; the 100th anniversary of Kentucky State Parks, one of the country’s most highly regarded state park systems; and the 25th anniversary of the famed Kentucky Bourbon Trail®, busier than ever as more distilleries add their mark to this uniquely Kentucky experience.
Get a front-row seat to Kentucky’s sky shows. The April 8, 2024, Solar Eclipse puts southwestern Kentucky in the path of totality. Our International Dark Sky Park (Mammoth Cave) plunges viewers into darkness for the most spectacular stargazing.
Come create lifelong memories, from the rolling bluegrass of Kentucky Horse Country to Trail Towns combining rugged sites and small-town delights to miles of shoreline, hundreds of waterfalls and mountains drenched in autumn hues.
Legendary outdoor and natural wonders, a tradition of folk art and handicrafts, a musical heritage steeped in bluegrass and country, a rich culinary culture and a spirit of hospitality — it’s all here in Kentucky, and we invite you to experience it, naturally.
