Explore mixing history with natural beauty makes the best adventure. Cumberland Gap tucked in where Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee meet offers both. Follow the Wilderness Road as Daniel Boone did in 1775 and hike along forested ridges with spectacular panoramic views. A great trip for all but especially suited for families and youth groups.

Canoeing: Blue River Wild and Scenic River
The first designated Scenic and Natural Riverway in Indiana and first explored by Squire Boone, Daniel Boone's brother, Blue River flows through one of the most scenic, interesting and diverse areas of Indiana. There is the opportunity to experience the pastoral tranquility of rural farmland, extensive forests, numerous caves, and a wealth of historical attractions. Depending on water levels and your time available, we offer a variety of trip lengths along the 57-miles of navigable river from Fredericksburg, Indiana to the Ohio River, with camping or cabin accommodations along the way. Evenings are filled with relaxation, fellowship and campfire stories of adventures.
