Cherry trees in Kentucky come with spring — a beautiful time of year! The hummingbirds and monarch butterflies are migrating, the peepers are chirping, and baby animals are taking their first steps. The landscape of the Bluegrass is dotted with verdant greenery and colorful flowers and wrapped in fresh smells of cut grass and wildflowers. Of all the places to revel in the season, a cemetery might not be the first that comes to mind. But those who’ve ever visited Lexington Cemetery in Lexington when the cherry blossoms are blooming know this to be one of the sweetest spring day trips in Kentucky.

What are some of the best outdoor activities in Kentucky?
- Boone Creek Outdoors (Lexington): Discover the natural beauty of this unique space in the air. With six zip lines, three sky bridges, a rappel, a spiral, and a floating staircase, who wouldn't have fun? The little ones can tackle Daniel Boone's Challenge with a chaperone featuring 16 obstacles, including Kentucky swinging barrels, the pioneer log swinging bridge, and the Timber Bluegrass Forrest. This outfit offers fun for beginner and advanced skill sets, from half-hour tours to two-and-a-half-hour tours.
- Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort (Corbin): Go at your own pace here, from wild whitewater rafting to leisurely canoeing or kayaking, cool riverboat cruises on the Cumberland Star, and even an inspiring Rainbow Mist Ride to Cumberland Falls. This adventure land sits five miles from Cumberland Falls State Resort Park near the Big South National River and Recreation area, Laurel Lake, and the Daniel Boone National Forest. Hike all day and plan to stay all night in a covered wagon, a cabin, or your tent.
- Lost River Cave (Bowling Green): While this magical 72-acre park offers many activities, we recommend the cave boat ride where you travel through history. Part legend, part truth, some interesting stories are told on this cruise of Lost River Cave as an ancient native hunting ground, a Civil War campground, a hideout for outlaw Jesse James, and a swinging underground 1930s nightclub. The 45-minute tour begins with a 20-minute guided walk along the river. Enjoy other activities, such as hiking trails, a butterfly habitat, and a gift shop.
