Carter Caves State Park was just a few miles from our campground in Grayson, Ky. We visited the park 3 times while we were there as it was so close and had so much to offer. Very scenic trails with natural arches, bridges and caves! I highly recommend a stop here for anyone visiting this part of Kentucky!
I took several hundred pics in this park and could easily have taken more;) So tough to just put a few on the blog!

There are 3 different cave tours at the park. We choose to do the Cascade Cave tour the largest of the caves with an underground river:
