SOUTHERN KENTUCKY VACATIONS Regional Highlights Bring your horse to Quiet Woods Green River Stables for camping and exploring the Green River Lake Trail System . Located near Campbellsville, a Kentucky Trail Town and home of Green River Lake State Park, this horse and RV camp has a saloon, bathhouses and live entertainment. Ahh, the elusive muskie. Anglers wishing to catch these predators built for speed and known as the fish of 10,000 casts head to Green River Lake — especially in the fall. That’s when the water cools down and the odds of catching a trophy fish go up. Check the Houseboat Capital of the World off your bucket list. A fleet of houseboats. Gorgeous Lake Cumberland. Sunny days, sparkling water, secret coves. Plus, hiking, fishing, mini golfing and dining at Jamestown’s Lake Cumberland State Resort Park . And a family that never wants to leave. 1 Saddle and Saloon You may not be at the wheel, but the adrenaline rush is just as intense for Saturday night racing at Lake Cumberland Speedway in Burnside: open-wheel modifiers, road hogs and late-model racing events on a 3/8-mile red clay oval track, April through October. Rock Creek. Dale Hollow Lake. Cumberland River. With multiple river access points, Kentucky-designated Scenic Wild Rivers and Outstanding Water Resources, Whitley City brings the whoosh of whitewater canoeing and beginner and intermediate rapids. Fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing, too. Step inside a former working mine on a guided tour at Barthell Coal Camp in Stearns. Nearby, explore an abandoned coal mining town at the Blue Heron Mining Community , an outdoor museum whose “ghost structures” tell the story of Mine 18. 4 Ready to Sling Dirt? 2 Muskie Make for Fun Fishing Challenge 5 Up a Not-So-Lazy River 3 Heaven on a Houseboat 6 Coal Country 1 2 4 3 5 6 National Parks State Resort Parks State Recreational Parks State Historic Parks 72 #TravelKY
