There are a few trails with different levels to suit everyone. The Snow and Gem Lakes Trail is ideal for any level of hikers, from new enthusiasts to those who live and breath the sport. The trail is not so steep, with a good amount of gains along the trails to give you enough grip as you hike. If you plan to try out this trial, it is recommended to go during July to October.

Another good thing is that you can take your family along as a number of Kentucky State parks will be holding events for kids where you could spend a night at the lodge, cottage or campground and have fun at their restaurants.
A number of parks offer marinas where you can rent out a boat and head out for a fishing adventure. Also children under the age of sixteen years are not required to get a fishing license in Kentucky. If you would like to get more information on Kentucky State Parks, check their website.
