At Kentucky State Parks’ resort, recreational and historic parks, vacations are always ready-made but never one-size-fits-all. Swing an iron, drop a line, stroke a paddle, sun, swim — what’s your whim? See a show or hear live music under the stars. Take a clifftop hike and look out high above the trees. Greenup’s Dragonfly Outdoor Adventures is an all-in-one vacation destination in Kentucky Appalachia, from cabin rentals and tent camping to kayak excursions on Little Sandy River and Grayson Lake to food truck dining to special workshops and events. Nearby, visit Dragonfly Outdoor Café at Eridanus Brewing in Russell. With private treehouses, secret “sit spots,” miles of trails, guided tree climbs, stargazing, hammocks for lazing and games of “chutes and ladders” on 150-foot-long slide tunnels, Brooksville’s EarthJoy Treehouse Adventures has “chill” written all over it. Oh, and you can follow the Hobbit Trail in search of miniature hobbit houses hidden in the trees. SCAN THE QR CODE FOR MORE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES.
