DANIEL BOONE COUNTRY REGIONAL ITINERARY DAY 1 1 Wildcat Off-Road Park , East Bernstadt Neither novice nor experienced rider can resist this family-friendly off-road park with 100 miles of trails. Get your rugged on, then swap keys for paddles and take a kayak out for a float on Rockcastle River. 2 Levi Jackson Wilderness Road Park , London Early adventurers used the Wilderness Road to reach Kentucky from Virginia. Today’s daredevils take treetop treks with ziplines, sky-high rope bridges and suspended obstacles at this full-on family-fun destination with camping, swimming pool, mini golf and hiking, too. 3 Harland Sanders Café and Museum , Corbin Bring your appetite for nostalgia to the place where the world’s most famous 11 secret herbs and spices blended their way into history. Sit beside a sculpture of the KFC king and snap a selfie. And if there’s a moonbow (a rare lunar rainbow) happening while you’re in town, make a beeline to Cumberland Falls! DAY 2 4 Appalachian Artisan Center , Hindman Have a playdate with the arts through revolving exhibitions, a dulcimer museum honoring famous luthiers, workshops on jewelry making and forging knives, and a store showing off the works of juried artists from Appalachia’s 52 counties – sculptures, quilts, handcrafted rocking chairs and more. 5 Mother Goose House , Hazard From a life-size Colonel Sanders to a behemoth-sized goose perched atop a house shaped like a nest and with eyes made from headlights. Yep, just another roadside photo-op! 6 Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park , Buckhorn Paradise is calling: swimming pool, sandy beach, 1,200-acre lake, miniature golf, hiking, horseshoes, fishing, pontoon boats, museum, gift shop, picnicking and playgrounds. Exhausted? Fuel up on Kentucky Proud TM dishes at Bowlingtown Country Kitchen. 6 5 1 2 4 3 SCAN HERE to explore this region! kentuckytourism.com/explore-kentucky KEY: National Parks State Resort Parks State Recreational Parks State Historic Sites London/Laurel County 606-878-6900, visitlondonky.com Slade/Red River Gorge/ Powell County 606-663-1161, gopoco.org 606-634-1814 discoverletcher.com Whitley County Williamsburg 606-549-6000, whitleycountytourism.com 606-549-0530, williamsburgky.com Middlesboro/Pineville/Bell County 606-248-2482, bellcountytourism.com Whitesburg/Letcher County Mount Vernon/Rockcastle County 606-256-9814, rockcastletourism.com Wolfe County 606-359-2353, visitwolfecounty.com kentuckytourism.com 97
