Kentucky Outdoor Adventure Games To Be Held In October

August 3, 2015 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

The Woods Behind Pine Mountain State Resort Park's Lodge

Pine Mountain State Resort Park

If you’re looking for things to do in Kentucky this October, you have plenty of activities to choose from. There’s always something going on in the Land Between the Lakes and at the Kentucky State Parks as well as other places around the state.

The Bluegrass State’s many outdoor recreational activities will be highlighted this October during a series of competitive events called the Kentucky Outdoor Adventure Games.

The 13 events will be held in locations across the state and include fishing tournaments, archery, paddling, mountain biking and more.

“The varied events featured in the Kentucky Outdoor Adventure Games will showcase outdoor recreation venues and events that promote good health and adventure tourism in Kentucky,’’ First Lady Jane Beshear said. “I invite Kentuckians and our out-of-state guests to attend and experience these games so they can learn more about the Commonwealth’s exciting adventure opportunities.”

The Kentucky Outdoor Adventure Games are being promoted by the Kentucky Sports Authority and the Office of Adventure Tourism. Other partners include the Kentucky State Parks and the Bluegrass Sports Commission.

“These events represent both the quality and quantity of outdoor adventure opportunities available throughout Kentucky,” said Elaine Wilson, director of the Office of Adventure Tourism. “From eastern Kentucky to western Kentucky and all points in-between, there are numerous locations to experience the vast natural resources Kentucky has to offer.  We hope these events will inspire Kentuckians to get out and try new adventures or visit a new place.”
