Welcome to Kentucky Highlands

Discover the Highlands, your key to Kentucky’s great outdoors! Inside the Daniel Boone National Forest, kayak the Cumberland River and keep an eye out for the surging waters of Cumberland Falls, the “Niagara of the South.” Also inside the Forest are the cliffs of Red River Gorge, offering spectacular rock climbing opportunities. Camp in Cumberland Gap National Historical Park or go four wheeling in Black Mountain Off-Road Adventure Park. Then, spend a little time inside at the Grand Ole Opry of Kentucky show or explore Kentucky’s musical heritage at the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Renfro Valley. Back outside, admire the natural arches of Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area for the perfect ending to your Highlands vacation!
