Big Bone Lick is a Top 100 Park Again
Big Bone Lick State Park in Boone County, Kentucky is recognized again as one of “America’s Top 100 Parks” by ReserveAmerica. The park was selected from more than 3,000 evaluations by park professionals and campers across North America. The criteria included scenic views, historical importance, hiking trails, kid-friendly atmosphere, children’s activities and more.
ReserveAmerica is the largest provider of campsite reservations in North America facilitating more than 4 million transactions per year and manages reservations for Kentucky State Park campgrounds.
State Parks Commissioner Gerry van der Meer said the ReserveAmerica recognition speaks highly of Kentucky State Parks as a whole. “That Kentucky State Parks repeatedly earns the confidence and gratitude of users and parks professionals says a lot about the quality we offer. Not only are five parks out of thousands of campgrounds in the top 100, some parks rank in multiple categories,” he said. “These awards reinforce how valuable our parks are for the state’s economic development, preserving Kentucky’s natural resources and providing quality recreation and camping opportunities that attract people from all over the nation.”

- Barren River State Resort Park
