The Trails of Dawson Springs | Kentucky Life | KET

This Earth Day 2014 edition of Kentucky Life takes us to Western Kentucky to explore the trails in the Dawson Springs area. This town first achieved fame in the late 1800s as "the health resort of the upper South" for its mineral waters. These days it's a popular destination for hiking, biking, and more. Dawson Springs—officially designated a "Kentucky Trail Town" by Governor Steve Beshear—boasts more than 25 miles of hiking trails on public land. Whether you're looking for a leisurely, meandering stroll for bird-watching or a strenuous hike through rugged terrain, you'll find it here. With hundreds of miles of scenic roads, Dawson Springs is also a good home base for bicycle riding through the Pennyrile Region, and the nearby Pennyrile State Forest offers 10 miles of challenging mountain bike trails. There are also opportunities for horseback riding. If you want to travel by water, consider canoeing and kayaking on the Blueway Trails: the Tradewater River, the 800-acre Lake Beshear with its 25 miles of shoreline, and Lake Pennyrile. ---------------------------------- Learn more about KET's program Kentucky Life at http://www.ket.org/kentuckylife Visit Kentucky Life's Facebook page:   / kentuckylife   Subscribe to the KET channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
