Hart County is an exciting area of Kentucky that has so much to offer. It may be best known as the home of Mammoth Cave (well, part of the park), Hidden River Cave, and the town of Horse Cave, but that’s just the beginning of the fun and adventure to be had in this area. The scenic Green River winds through the county, through the town of Munfordville, and past many beautiful spots, including a waterfall that’s only accessible by boat! Known as the “Blueway on the Green,” this area is ideal for a scenic kayak trip in Kentucky and an unforgettable adventure.
Perhaps you’ve been driving along I-65 in Kentucky and noticed the sign for the Munfordville exit. Unless you live in Hart County, you may not realize all of the natural beauty and adventure that awaits when you pull your car off at exit 65.
