LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Whether you're staying the whole week to go to Louder Than Life and want to explore the state, or you're a Kentuckian that's looking for something fun to do, this new highway map might just help.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet partnered together to create the "Larger-Than-Life" highway map that highlights attractions across the commonwealth.
It includes 12 attractions like Henderson County’s largest collection of aviary images, the giant floral clock in Frankfort and Dinosaur World in Cave City officials said.
“From our signature bourbon and Thoroughbred industries to our rich culinary traditions, iconic music and unparalleled natural beauty, our new Kentucky home offers no shortage of reasons for lifelong residents and visitors alike to get out and explore the places and meet the people that make our commonwealth one of a kind,” Gov. Andy Beshear said.
Other information featured on the map includes symbols for parks and trails, weigh stations and state police posts.
“However you choose to enjoy Kentucky’s attractions and scenic views – by foot, bikes, cars or motorcycles – our focus is on providing a transportation network to get you there safely,” KYTC Secretary Jim Gray said. “Even in our modern age, printed maps have their place and continue to be a fan favorite requested by travelers and families in and out of our borders to chart their great Kentucky adventure.”
The maps will be available at rest areas and welcome centers officials said.
“Kentucky offers a rich tapestry of tourist opportunities, including natural wonders, vibrant cultural experiences, unique outdoor adventures and so much more,” Lindy Casebier, the secretary for the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, said. “The new highway map will help guide both visitors and locals in discovering some of the commonwealth’s authentic experiences. We encourage everyone to pick up a guide to help with their travel planning.”
