Located near the northern terminus of the Sheltowee Trace Trail, Morehead blends outdoor access with small-town warmth. Visitors can head to Main Street, where they can find local shops and cozy cafés, and stretch their legs before heading into the woodlands on one of the many nearby trails. Just outside town, Cave Run Lake offers fishing, paddling, and scenic lakeside trails, while nearby ridge hikes and mountain bike routes wind through the Daniel Boone National Forest. Don’t miss the historic downtown district and the Kentucky Folk Art Center for a dose of Appalachian culture.
