STATE PARKS, KY Enjoy the outdoors in style, at Kentucky's State Parks! With over 50 parks to choose from, there's plenty to explore. Many have historical significance, many have waterfront on a lake or river and all of them are beautiful.  Visitors who want to be out on the water can rent canoes, paddle boats, pontoon boats, and fishing boats from 15 marinas operated by the Kentucky State Parks. We can help you handle all the details, from fuel to fishing licenses. Back on land, seasoned hikers can tackle the 28-mile Pine Mountain Trail, while those looking for a gentle walk in the woods can choose a shorter route, such as the trails at Columbus-Belmont State Park. And several parks feature riding stables where visitors can rent a four-legged companion to share the adventure. Kentucky's state parks also offer a wide variety of events, from art exhibits and music festivals to living history demonstrations, 5K runs, and fireworks! Want to enjoy the great outdoors and keep your modern comforts? Check out Kentucky's 17 resort parks, which offer a full-service lodge and restaurant, where you can dine on local cuisine made from locally grown foods.
