Big Bone Lick State Park, KY.







Kentucky has such a great system of parks. I am really interested in the state parks now.


I know many people make the drive to Northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio often. It is such a great area.


I also know that a lot of people have noticed the sign for "Big Bone Lick" state park.


The park is really only a few miles off of the main road. It is easy to get there.


When we walked inside the visitor center, the very friendly and informative staff started chatting with us immediately. This was one of the most informative staffs ever. We were given information on the history of the park and the area. Every question was answered. We were even given directions to Rabbit Hash and to a local restaurant! Oh, and the ranger gave us a very nice map of state parks!


We were told to go check out the bison, as they were close to the main fence. We appreciated the tip off!


The visitor center itself was very nice, with several displays. Check out the mastodon skull! There are other bones and relics on display.
