						<p>BirdingLots of Wild Turkeys nest on the park. Nesting pairs of Pileated Woodpeckers and Red-tailed Hawks; over-flights of Sandhill Cranes during migration; large roosts of Vultures in winter months; large numbers of Chimney Swifts in summer months at the fort; Ruby-throated Hummingbiirds in/near the fort in summer; and winter concentrations of Dark-eyed Juncos.BoatingLaunching ramps are available in the park for your access to a fun-filled day on the river.CampingEnjoy camping on the banks of the Kentucky River year-round!

Primitive campground closed indefinitely.FishingWith an abundance of bluegill, bass, and catfish, fishing is a favorite pastime on the Kentucky River. A Kentucky Fishing License is required.HikingJust over a half mile of waking trails are just enough to get away from the hubbub. A .25-mile paved Fort Trail begins at the fort and comes out in the parking lot across from the pool.The Halley Home Site Trail, a short connector trail between the other two, is named for the Halley&rsquo;s who built a large house on the property in the late 1790&rsquo;s. The house is gone but several hidden signs of the old rock foundation remain. The Halley&rsquo;s are buried on the park.The Pioneer Forage Trail, connecting the campground to the fort, is a little over a quarter mile. It follows very briefly a section of rock wall from the Halley farm and some wagon road remnants. It also follows, for some distance, Spring Run Branch, a small stream that was named by the settlers and played a role in the siege of 1778. In the spring, wildflowers liven up the landscape.Miniature GolfAdults $4.50, Children 3-12 $3.50 and children under 3 free.

A .25-mile paved Fort Trail begins at the fort and comes out in the parking lot across from the pool.The Halley Home Site Trail, a short connector trail between the other two, is named for the Halley&rsquo;s who built a large house on the property in the late 1790&rsquo;s.

A .25-mile paved Fort Trail begins at the fort and comes out in the parking lot across from the pool.The Halley Home Site Trail, a short connector trail between the other two, is named for the Halley&rsquo;s who built a large house on the property in the late 1790&rsquo;s. The house is gone but several hidden signs of the old rock foundation remain. The Halley&rsquo;s are buried on the park.The Pioneer Forage Trail, connecting the campground to the fort, is a little over a quarter mile. It follows very briefly a section of rock wall from the Halley farm and some wagon road remnants. It also follows, for some distance, Spring Run Branch, a small stream that was named by the settlers and played a role in the siege of 1778. In the spring, wildflowers liven up the landscape.Miniature GolfAdults $4.50, Children 3-12 $3.50 and children under 3 free.

Nesting pairs of Pileated Woodpeckers and Red-tailed Hawks; over-flights of Sandhill Cranes during migration; large roosts of Vultures in winter months; large numbers of Chimney Swifts in summer months at the fort; Ruby-throated Hummingbiirds in/near the fort in summer; and winter concentrations of Dark-eyed Juncos.BoatingLaunching ramps are available in the park for your access to a fun-filled day on the river.CampingEnjoy camping on the banks of the Kentucky River year-round! The campground offers 166 sites with electricity and water hookups; 18 have full hookups. There are 2 central service buildings and 3 dump stations. An activities building can accommodate 150 people, and central service buildings provide showers, rest rooms, and laundry facilities. WiFi available. There is a small grocery at the check-in area. Open year-round. Restrooms and water fill-up available year-round. Four pull-throughs open year-round. Call 859-527-3454 or email: jack.winburn@ky.gov with inquiries. Primitive campground closed indefinitely.FishingWith an abundance of bluegill, bass, and catfish, fishing is a favorite pastime on the Kentucky River. A Kentucky Fishing License is required.HikingJust over a half mile of waking trails are just enough to get away from the hubbub. A .25-mile paved Fort Trail begins at the fort and comes out in the parking lot across from the pool.The Halley Home Site Trail, a short connector trail between the other two, is named for the Halley&rsquo;s who built a large house on the property in the late 1790&rsquo;s. The house is gone but several hidden signs of the old rock foundation remain. The Halley&rsquo;s are buried on the park.The Pioneer Forage Trail, connecting the campground to the fort, is a little over a quarter mile. It follows very briefly a section of rock wall from the Halley farm and some wagon road remnants. It also follows, for some distance, Spring Run Branch, a small stream that was named by the settlers and played a role in the siege of 1778. In the spring, wildflowers liven up the landscape.Miniature GolfAdults $4.50, Children 3-12 $3.50 and children under 3 free.

A .25-mile paved Fort Trail begins at the fort and comes out in the parking lot across from the pool.The Halley Home Site Trail, a short connector trail between the other two, is named for the Halley&rsquo;s who built a large house on the property in the late 1790&rsquo;s. The house is gone but several hidden signs of the old rock foundation remain. The Halley&rsquo;s are buried on the park.The Pioneer Forage Trail, connecting the campground to the fort, is a little over a quarter mile. It follows very briefly a section of rock wall from the Halley farm and some wagon road remnants. It also follows, for some distance, Spring Run Branch, a small stream that was named by the settlers and played a role in the siege of 1778. In the spring, wildflowers liven up the landscape.Miniature GolfAdults $4.50, Children 3-12 $3.50 and children under 3 free.

A .25-mile paved Fort Trail begins at the fort and comes out in the parking lot across from the pool.The Halley Home Site Trail, a short connector trail between the other two, is named for the Halley&rsquo;s who built a large house on the property in the late 1790&rsquo;s. The house is gone but several hidden signs of the old rock foundation remain. The Halley&rsquo;s are buried on the park.The Pioneer Forage Trail, connecting the campground to the fort, is a little over a quarter mile. It follows very briefly a section of rock wall from the Halley farm and some wagon road remnants. It also follows, for some distance, Spring Run Branch, a small stream that was named by the settlers and played a role in the siege of 1778. In the spring, wildflowers liven up the landscape.Miniature GolfAdults $4.50, Children 3-12 $3.50 and children under 3 free.
