Hey, y’all — Aaron here. 👋
Last week, I told you that I was heading out to Eastern Kentucky to do some camping with my family, and here’s what I saw.
We stayed at Breaks Interstate Park , a state park that straddles the border of both Virginia + Kentucky. This park is a ~3-hour drive from Lexington, but might be one of the best and easiest spots for checking out the fall foliage.
The park offers several breathtaking vantage points that are only a quick 25-yard walk from the car.
What’s really cool — while in the park, you are in the state of Virginia, but always looking into the mountains of Kentucky.
There’s also a restaurant on-site , so you can have a full biscuit and gravy breakfast before checking out the views.
Amenities include:
- A lodge
- Cabin rentals
- An on-site restaurant
- Zip lines
- Elk Tours
- Fishing
- Rock climbing
- Hiking
Let me know if you choose to check it out. I’m happy to give you some pointers.
