SEASONAL INFO
Kentucky enjoys four distinct seasons. Spring showers bring colorful flowers — and all that beautiful bluegrass. Warm, sunny summer days call for sunglasses and sunscreen. Fall in Kentucky is highly anticipated, with glorious color blazing across mountains and valleys. Winter brings a nip of cold temps and a need for coats, hats and gloves.
ACCESSIBILITY
From cave tours and trails at Mammoth Cave National Park to lodges, cottages and pool wheelchair lifts at Kentucky State Parks to a canoe and kayak launch dock at Elizabethtown’s Freeman Lake Park, travelers of all abilities will find accessible adventures and experiences waiting for them.
HOW TO GET HERE
Sixty-five percent of the U.S. population lives within a day’s drive of Kentucky, which is served by six major Interstates: 24, 64, 65, 69, 71 and 75. The Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport and the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport — all part of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program — are Kentucky’s three major airports.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Bluegrass is committed to the principles of responsible tourism. As Kentucky poet Wendell Berry wrote, “The atmosphere, the earth, the water and the water cycle — those things are good gifts. The ecosystems, the ecosphere, those are good gifts."
