Kentucky Town Earns Hiking Distinction

State tourism maps will feature a new destination now that Olive Hill, located in Carter County, is Kentucky’s fourth official Trail Town. The honorary ceremony held this November marked more than two years of collaboration between citizen volunteers and city and state park officials on efforts to enhance the town’s outdoor and downtown assets, including a new 8.3-mile trail that joins Olive Hill to Carter Caves State Resort Park.

The Kentucky Trail Town Program, created in 2012, supports more diverse economies by encouraging towns to connect to state park trail systems. Designated towns qualify for grant assistance and are also promoted in highway signage, visitor guides and online.

‘First Line of Defense’

During Hurricane Helene and its aftermath, rural fire departments and other first responder hubs played critical roles in keeping their communities safe, even without power and cut off from outside support for days or weeks after the storm. Two years later, plenty of work remains to ensure these hubs have the resources they need to operate day to day and be ready when emergencies or natural disasters strike.
