Things to do in Kentucky, United States: The Best Off-Road & ATV Trails
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!

What a great time heading out into nature on a VERY cool ATV. It seems like the woods go on forever once you're out there. We found some great little fossils by a creek, and tasted sarsaparilla too! The people operating the tour were the nicest, and answered all of our kids' questions. A safe, comfortable way to experience real Kentucky nature at its best. One of the top highlights of our trip from NY.

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.

This place has it all. Nice tails, good campground, friendly and helpful staff. Start with the campground, sites are full hook up. Some pull through and some back in. Big rigs are not a problem here. They also offer primitive sites. The bathhouse is the only thing that I would say could be better. It an open air three or four stall “hillbilly shower house”. The camp store has a good selection of camping supplies and riding supplies. They also have plenty of Swag for sale. The trails have something to offer for all riders, from rocks, to mud, the flat curvy switchbacks. We like this place because you can ride for a few hours, come back to camp and have lunch then set out to the trails again. You can’t cover all the trails in a day. I’m not sure you could in a weekend. Did mention it’s only like three miles and three turns off I75 exit 49.
4. 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.
