Hopefully, by now you know how fantastic our state park system is here in Kentucky. We are lucky enough to have one of the best collection of state parks in the country and they each offer different opportunities for adventure and experiencing natural beauty.

We’ve spoken highly of many of the parks, such as the underrated Grayson Lake State Park and Kentucky’s first state park, Pine Mountain State Resort Park, but there’s one often overlooked park that is filled with unique features. Big Bone Lick State Historic Site in Union is worthy of a visit and is filled with prehistoric surprises.
