The 9 Best Biking Trails in Kentucky, United States

August 26, 2021 Alida England

Famous for Bourbon Country and horse farms, civil war battlefields and beautiful natural parks, Kentucky offers a delightful mix of experiences. You might begin in Lexington, where the 1200-acre Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction. The university adds exciting sports, impressive art and a vibrant student/professor population to the city. Louisville is similar, where renowned Churchill Downs hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest steam-driven river paddlewheeler, hosts enchanting lunch and dinner cruises along the beautiful Ohio River. Next, head south to visit Mammoth Cave National Park for a day of touring the cave (the world’s longest known cave), hiking and canoeing on the Green River. Paducah, Berea, Bowling Green – so many places to explore and enjoy!

Fishpond Lake & Campground

Fish Pond Lake is a pristine man-made lake, located one mile west of Payne Gap off U.S. 119 in Jenkins, KY. Once the site of a mining camp, the valley was dammed and flooded in 1961 to create this shining centerpiece of the 895-acre Little Laurel Park. It has ATV trail access. The lake is home to freshwater jellyfish, a resident trout population, bass, catfish and other Kentucky species.

Run, walk or bike on this beautiful trail. From the tree covered gravel trail through the woods, to the concrete trail that takes you from the park to the river, it is all wonderful.

General Butler State Resort Park

Reviewed By 426maggiem - Louisville, United States

General Butler State Park was a solo overnight getaway for me. It's an hour from Louisville. I had been there for lunch in the past but had never stayed overnight until this time. It's nothing fancy but it suited me perfectly. My room (with one queen bed) was enough for me and it was very comfortable. I loved the little patio! The weather was perfect for sitting outside in the evening. I enjoyed exploring the grounds and taking pictures. I had dinner and breakfast at Two Rivers Restaurant. Both were excellent. The catfish sandwich I had for dinner was the best I've ever tasted. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I intend to go back.

7. Little Shepherd Trail

Kentucky Highway 1679, Whitesburg, KY 41858 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Little%20Shepherd%20Trail/166220526884414/
Little Shepherd Trail

Located in scenic southeastern Kentucky, parts in Letcher and Harlan counties the Little Shepherd Trail is a curvy mountain road that twists and turns more than 350 times as it leads to the most stunning views in the state. The windiest road in Kentucky is not for the faint of heart, but your heart will surely fall in love with this magical drive in our beautiful state.

During the 2.5 mile hike you will encounter several water features. Every season has its own beauty on the Sheltowee Trace Recreational Trail. We encountered hikers and mountain bikers. It there has been lots of rain in the previous days I recommend trekking poles, you may encounter high mud in certain sections of the trail.
