What to do and see in Bowling Green, Kentucky (KY): The Best Outdoor Activities
Known primarily as the only place in the U.S. that manufactures Corvettes and for the large ancient cavern that sits in the center of the city, Bowling Green has built a thriving tourist business on cars and caves. At the General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant, visitors can see the step-by-step production of America's favorite sports car. The Corvette Museum includes one-of-a-kind prototypes, that were designed but never manufactured, among other Corvette memorabilia. To view awesome creations made by nature head to the Lost River Valley and Cave. Take the underground boat tour, on the shortest deep river in the world, to see a land formation that is more than 10,000 years old and has been used as shelter by Native Americans and Civil War soldiers. Though Bowling Green never officially left the Union, it's home to a number of historic war landmarks, exquisite old homes and remarkable buildings that can be visited on foot or by car during a leisurely drive through this beautiful part of the country.

Come and adventure with us and see the beautiful rolling hills of southern Kentucky. We will ascend to two thousand feet giving you a birds eye view of the world beneath. We fly a large hot air balloon up to six passengers. With some lead time, we can fly two balloons. We generally take off near the airport and travel 5-15 miles outside the city limits. Our season is year round. We fly when we have a reservation. We can fly any month of the year. Our busiest time is between May and September. Call us anytime and ask questions. Ballooning is a very fun sport and SAFETY is our #1 priority. We never make a flight decision with our wallet. We look at the weather and decide if it's a good day to fly. For out of town guests, if you make the reservation and we do not fly because of weather, you will get a 100% refund. Local guests can reschedule. We never fly in weather that could potentially be dangerous. Ballooning is a pretty day, light wind sport. Your safety is paramount. Let's Fly!

Reviewed By Exploringontheroad
We visited on a fall weekday. There were just a few people out. It was not crowded by any means. There are two parking lots. The one to the left leads to the lake and a place to put your small water craft in (paddle boards, canoes were there when we visited). We had a picnic by the lake on folding chairs we brought. The parking lot to the right is where the trail to a small waterfall begins. It is not marked. Note the hours that you may not park there due to it being a school bus turn-around. The trail itself was fairly easy to follow. There is a big main trail and small trails that go off, but it is relatively easy to see they are just side trails. At one spot the trail does a v and it looks questionable which path to take. We took the one to the right that goes up toward a large boulder/rock/ledge. There were lovely formations and if you stay on it you will be rewarded with the waterfall. The path is dirt with roots and lots of rocks and trees to climb over. I'd call it moderate and for the adventurer. There hasn't been much rain and I wondered if there would be any water at all,but there was still a bit. The kids wore wellies and played in the small pool at the bottom of the fall. When we sat for our picnic, a mosquito came close, so we sprayed down with but spray and wore but bands and had no further trouble with them.
