Valentine's Getaway at Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park

Valentine's Getaway Dinner

Over twenty couples joined us for our Valentine's Getaway package this year.  The couples enjoyed a romantic dinner with piano music.  They played the Not-so-Newlywed Game for prizes which included a free one night stay certificate.

The entire group posed for a photo under the sandstone cliff on the Indian Bluff Trail.

Next, the hikers enjoyed a short portion of the Pennyrile Nature Trail. Winter hiking is great at Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park.  Hiking stick is recommended and be careful of icy patches in the trail.

Loads to do at Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park this February!

Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park is hosting three Special Event Weekends in February!

Thirty-five hikers joined us for our First Day Hike

We were thrilled to have such a good turnout for our first ever First Day Hike.  There were 12 hikers who participated in the 10 AM hike.  They hiked the Indian Bluff Trail, Clifty Creek Trail, and a small portion of the Pennyrile Nature Trail. The noon hike had 23 participants and they hiked the Cane Trail, and a portion of the Lake Trail.  The weather couldn't have been better. We plan to offer another group hike for Valentines on February 15th. Hope to see you there!
