Kentucky Hills, Woods and Waters Weekend Jan. 20-22 at Cumberland Falls

Cumberland Falls State Resort Park will host the Kentucky Hills, Woods and Waters Weekend Jan. 20-22, 2017. Do NOT let the fact that it’s winter make you hesitate for a milisecond on this event. See the pictures in this post? They were each taken in January 2016 – and, as you can see, the park is breathtakingly beautiful, no matter what the temperature is.

The Kentucky Hills, Woods and Waters Weekend will give guests a chance to explore Kentucky’s rich cultural and natural history by attending free activities and workshops.

Participants will be able to choose from a wide variety of activities including guided hikes, kayaking, fishing, wildlife watching, and wildlife habitat restoration.

On Friday, Cumberland Falls naturalists will give talks on the history of Cumberland Falls, geology, winter plant identification and astronomy for beginners.
