HOW TO USE THE TRAVEL GUIDE

The Kentucky Travel Guide is divided into regions, which are further divided into areas, then gateways and metros. There are 5 Regions, (including Southern Indiana) with 11 Areas. These Areas have 43 key Gateway Cities. The Gateway Cities encompass a number of smaller Metros areas.

The Guide is designed to help you find interesting things to do, places to eat or stay, and to plan a trip seamlessly following the gateways around Kentucky and Southern Indiana.

There are many maps to help you distinguish which area you are viewing including a Bourbon & Wine Trail, as well as a Southern Indiana Cave Map. These maps are not meant to help with directions, but to simply serve as a location guide. We have added unique QR scan codes that allow you to access content, get directions and learn more about our featured partners. ATTRACTION NOTES Listings were verified and believed to be accurate at press time. It’s recommended to contact the destination prior to visiting to determine the level of access and for the most up-to-date information, or visit www.kytravel.com to view our sponsor partners pages for current events and information. IMPAIRED ACCESS It's recommended to contact the attraction prior to visiting to determine the level of access.

handcrafted beverages are a toast to the proud spirit of the mountains and the passionate people who shape the region. Founders Pearse and Deirdre Lyons have long felt a special kinship with the mountains, craftsmanship and hardworking people of Appalachia. After immigrating to Kentucky from Ireland, they developed an affinity for the region because of the many ways it reminds them of home. Stories that move mountains live here, including the legendary Hatfields and McCoys feud, the dawn of Bluegrass music and starry nights spent making moonshine along the Tug Fork stream.

Boone’s family built a thriving settlement centered around Boone’s Mill, which is still operating today. Boone was buried in the caverns and his final resting place is a one-of-a-kind tour. Rich in history and geological wonders, guests will learn both the history of Squire Boone and how the caves are developed while being surrounded by thousands of formations (one of which is over 40 feet tall!). Along with our 1-hour walking cave tour and Historic Boone’s Mill, activities at the Caverns Include: Indiana’s longest Zipline with multiple zipline courses, Rock Shop with thousands of precious gemstones and fossils, Gem-Mining Sluice and soap and Candle Demonstrations. 812.732.4381; www.squireboonecaverns.com.
