Although it is closed to traffic, you can access this by foot to take in all the historical feeling it exudes. While it did have a lot of graffiti, I'm glad I checked it out and gave my dog a different scenery to explore. If you're a history buff, it's worth detouring here because it's quite unusual to see a relic like this elsewhere. It's secluded enough to offer privacy yet inviting enough for the public to check out. Although my visit was short, it certainly was worthwhile.

The Switzer Covered Bridge is the official state covered bridge of Kentucky. Built in around 1855…read moreand restored in 1906, it was closed to traffic in 1954 then restored again in 1997 after a flood swept it off its foundation. The bridge formerly carried Kentucky route 1262 across North Elkhorn Creek. It is a 120 foot long Howe truss design and was replaced by a concrete bridge that now carries the traffic. A few folks were here enjoying the slow moving creek as a watering hole and swimming spot. There are some picnic tables and it's a nice shady spot away from too many people.

For example, in Gaffney SC which has a big peach growing community, there's the Peachoid that looks like a giant peach as you drive by on I-85 https://www.yelp.com/biz/peachoid-water-tower-gaffney?hrid=1yVcejo353VlCHINw7YWGw and just outside Charlotte, the baseball that is close to where the Charlotte Knights baseball team played https://www.yelp.com/biz/baseball-water-tower-fort-mill?hrid=uxn7C0DT4bFlhJA2mivOcg and in Ypsilanti MI, it's a giant penis because reasons https://www.yelp.com/biz/ypsilanti-water-tower-ypsilanti?hrid=n7mkjkQ-PxF4OICBGQLo6Q. So here on the property of what is now operated by the Georgia-Pacific company, where they manufacture Dixie Cups, they've made their water tower in the shape of a giant Dixie Cup. It's cute and you can't miss it. You can see it from two sides. One is the YRC Freight parking lot at 444 Transport Court (public property) and the other is along this semi-private road that leads into the GP factory at 451 Harbison Road. Where the Sun is will determine which one works better for you. You can stop at either location, but I would not recommend sticking around for too long. [Review 13483 overall, 802 of 2020.]

Great professional staff and safety is their #1 priority. Located right in the city, just a short drive to get there. This is the most open cavern I have ever been in and you almost feel like you are in a dark warehouse, it's so big! No "tight" spaces of any kind. Heights might be your issue if that is a concern. If you have any climbing, repelling, spelunking, or exploring experience, this is a "walk in the park" for you. No experience is needed and they take care of everything. All you have to do is zip when you're told. Have fun! Shoutout to Bethany M., an excellent staff member.

Online booking mentions that it is a 2.5hr experience but with a smaller group of 8, it only took 1.5hr for all the zip lines. Overall a very fun experience and great with big groups! The Bad: Do not get the picture package!! The picture is taken at a standing platform after one of the zip lines, not an action shot!! The Ugly: It felt a little sketchy going down the barren hallway. It was a 5 min walk that felt like you were going through an industrial hallway and it just felt out of place to keep going if the signs were not there. On to my next adventure....

This greenway trail seems like what I've been looking for. Lexington is notable for having a…read morerelative lack of urban sprawl, with zoning laws ensuring that much of the city is surrounded by rolling hills covered with farms. The outskirts of the city are very pretty to drive through, but you can't really do much as the farms are privately owned and there isn't much in the way of parks or trails. Enter this paved pathway, which runs from the city proper out to the horse center. It seems geared towards bikers, which I am not, but there was certainly space for pedestrians and I saw a few others. I visited a section that ran by some university-owned test farms, and got a treat with nice views, ample songbirds, and peace and quiet. I did get mobbed by some sort of fly as it got dark; though it did not seem to be of any biting or stinging variety you definitely want to consider repellent, along with something for pollen allergies and some sunscreen. The entire length of the trail is farther than I could walk on one night, but I suspect it will be well worth exploring, as this is exactly the sort of thing Lexington needs.

We were 3 adults and a toddler, thankfully we paid a reduced price to enter the activity area because only the toddler did anything & it was too cold / wet to do most of the activities. She loved the petting zoo area & had a blast in the corn pit. I recommend going even on a day the sun doesn't shine. Be sure to wear boots.
