Možné venkovní aktivity:	The great outdoors comes alive in Kentucky with mountains, lush forests, streams, rivers, and lakes with more running water than any other state but Alaska. Kentucky's landscape provides the setting for everything from an adventurous expedition into untamed wilderness to a secluded retreat beside a lazy woodland stream. All this variety means great outdoor fun for every member of your family - camping, fishing, hiking, biking, boating, swimming, sightseeing and exploring amid some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the world. Kentucky has five nationally designated outdoor recreation areas covering close to a million acres: the Daniel Boone National Forest, Mammoth Cave National Park, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, and Land Between The Lakes. Kentucky's state park system includes 49 parks and one interstate park with facilities for meetings and conferences, recreation, camping, sports, education and much more. With 10 lakes of 5,000 or more surface acres of water, there's plenty of room on Kentucky’s waters for sailboats, motorboats, houseboats and pontoons. Boat rentals of all kinds are available at marinas across the state. Houseboating is the answer for a great vacation! It's a floating hotel, private restaurant, swimming dock and sun deck. You can cruise the giant lakes or tie-up in a secluded cove to fish or scuba dive. And anyone who can drive a car can "skipper" a houseboat! There are 14 major river systems in Kentucky offering lots of canoeing, kayaking and rafting experiences. Paddle down a pleasant, smooth stream or test your skills on a fast-flowing mountain river with whitewater up to Class V. Bicyclists are just naturally attracted to the back roads of Kentucky. The scenic beauty of the state - at its peak in the spring and fall - the varied topography, and the generally temperate climate are the perfect ingredients for great cycling adventures. More than 600 miles of the national TransAmerica Trail are in Kentucky, running from Crittenden County at the western border to Pike County at the eastern border. Riding the back roads of this trail is a great way to view a scenic cross section of the state. Horseback riding is another way to experience the special beauty of the hills, forests and rolling meadows of Kentucky and what better place to ride horses than the "Horse Capital of the World!" With several state parks and many private stables offering trail rides, Kentucky offers a variety of riding options from relaxing pony rides to adventurous trail rides to rugged overnight horse camping expeditions. Golfing opportunities. Kentuckians love their golf and have developed courses for all skill levels. Great golf courses can be found throughout the state, including many of the state parks.
