One of the reasons McCreary
County is known as "Kentucky's Outdoor Playground" is the abundance of trails
for horseback riding. With 100 miles of marked riding trails and countless old roads
available, opportunities abound for day, weekend or week-long riding enjoyment
through pristine wilderness that you won't want to miss.
