Naughty Tourists at Big Bone Lick
Friday, September 25th, 2009
Big Bone Lick State Park has a minor problem thanks to frisky visitors who take the park’s name too literally. Park naturalist Todd Young says that even though the name refers to the large animal bones found on the salt licks, people often stop at the park to enjoy some “inappropriate behavior.”
Big Bone Lick gets its fair share of flashers and suggestive pictures taken in front of its sign, but park officials have also caught some couples in the act. “It does go on here,” Young said. “If we ever see people doing anything they shouldn’t do, we remind them that it’s a state park and kids are around.”
Despite the occasionally naughty behavior, Young says Big Bone Lick is a “very fitting name.”
