Did you know the mere sight of water can help you relax? That's why you should visit Cave Run Lake. From the gorgeous views to the tranquil sounds of nature, this place will help you find your peace.

This body of water is one of the best free attractions in Kentucky. But there's plenty more to keep you occupied in this area. If you'd love some ideas about where to head to after Cave Run Lake, we recommend Daniel Boone National Forest.
