Some Hiking

Saturday, October 4, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY

Today it was sunny out, but the temperature was chilly and it was windy!  We decided to take Gracie a walk down the dead end road just down from the campground.  We thought there would not be any traffic, but there was a lot more traffic, then we thought.  As we got down the road we found there was a parking lot for a hiking/horse trailhead.

Then at the end of the road is the Green River Ranch Campground.  This is another campground on Amazon's list and we thought about staying there, but the day I was calling they were having a problem with their phone system and I was unable to call them.  This morning we meet Erin, an owner.  We stood and talked with her for about 30 minutes.  We found out they only have 10 full hook-up sites.  If we come back to Campbellsville in the future, we may check into staying at this campground...

We finally got back home, had some lunch, then headed out to see the sites in the area.  First we went to Green River Lake Arny Corps of Engineers Visitor Center.  It was a very nice center, there were lots of hands-on activities for kids.

Next we went on a hiking trail right outside the visitor center.  It took us out to an outlook point on Green River Lake.

Gracie really liked it.  :)  Then we walked back up the trail to another area.  Gracie decided to jump over the wall, so I had her come back over and Mike took a picture.

We then headed for the base of the dam.  There is a nice little park down there also.

The Green River Lake State Park was our next stop.

This park is right across the road from the RV park we are staying at.  The RV park is in the background of this picture.

We were going to do some hiking, but the trails were closed due to a 4-H group doing some shooting competition.  Instead the state park had a small corn maze near the entrance and it was free, so we decided to try it out.  It is not the same walking a corn maze in the day light.  :)  But it was fun.

It was another wonderful day!
