My boyfriend brings his binoculars so he can birdwatch, while I love checking out the latest work of the beavers near the shoreline of the lake. Today we decided to try to find the beaver den -- and we found it! Pretty freaking cool. It's also a great place for disc golf. And there are lots of picnic areas, whether you're looking for large covered gazebos or a simple picnic table, and there are grills available for use. I can't give 5 stars because there is quite a bit of trash in places (people can be such jerks) and the bush honeysuckle is out of control. But I do love coming here, without a doubt.

People were loud and using the creek as a pool, spray painting and damaging the trail/trashing the area. So, if you are headed down to hike on the John Holder Trail, as we were, you will find it closed. The area itself is lovely. Hall's on the River is great (and open during Covid), you can still canoe on the river, and the fort is close by and well worth a visit.

It was too beautiful of a day in February to not try to get in a hike. Decided to head out on the…read moreJohn Holder Trail. The trails were pretty muddy after the snow melt but it was worth it. I would rate it a moderately easy there and back trail but with some beautiful views of the Lower Howard River. Total round trip is just under 3 miles. There is a point that you do cross the river so make sure you have either waterproof hiking boots or the river is low enough to get across. Please don't try to cross if it is deep or flowing fast. Nobody wants to get hurt or wet. There are some elevation changes and several historical sites. For this hike there was a lot of pretty ice hanging off the cliffs. There is a waterfall but that's off property so you shouldn't hike there. And after a day of hiking you can get soon food at Halls On The River and enjoy the scenery from there. As for parking, I usually park across the street from Halls but there is parking behind Halls too.

It's hard to hate any park. This park is another hit and if you're in Danville, it's a must stop…read more Every time I'm in the area, I always stop here. This park starts off with numerous baseball fields which I assume that little leagues use throughout the summer. Spread out around the park are a few small children's playgrounds. The organized sports and fun for the kids: Check! Near the middle of the park there is this decent sized pond with a fountain. Also ducks! Lots of ducks! Different ducks! Friendly ducks! Did I mention there are ducks? Benches and swings are all around the pond. It's the perfect place to take a daytime date to relax. Date/Nature/Pond: Check! On one side of the park and out of the way you'll find a small skate park. It is tiny and they really should expand it for the skaters in the area. They have more than enough room and it's hard to find great places to skate. Alternative activity space: Check! On the other side is a paved path that circles the park. It's a great path, but I wish it wasn't just a flat and winding path. They should install more trees or other things to admire. This path is surrounded by grass and only grass. I think this park could benefit from more trees, plants, and flowers. There is a gazebo on one side of the park in this area. There is also a dog park tucked away. The only reason this park gets a 4 instead of a 5 is because of wasted space. There's a lot of underutilized space that could be made beautiful here. I'm surprised anytime I talk to someone from the area and they have no idea that the park exists. Everyone from Danville and the surrounding area should use this park! No excuses!

I've even looked up in the trees and caught a glimpse of an individual climbing high up in a tree! There is also a beautiful pond with a fountain.

The old fort site has a marina and some signage, but it was brutal hot, so I wandered up to the Kentucky River Museum and stumbled right into a fascinating tour! The guide's family has operated the lock (Lock 10 to be specific) since practically conception, so he had stories, pictures, letters, journals, and a deep connection to the home and site. Awesome tour! This tour is included with your purchase of a fort ticket, so I headed over there to get mine and wander around the replica fort complete with cabins, crows, period demonstrations, and a video about the one and only Daniel Boone!

I love cultural history and visiting historic homes, so when I heard about White Hall's scandals and ghost tour I knew that this would be the perfect outing for us. This tour is a great blend of the scandalous history of the Clay family and supernatural events that have been experienced in the house. Our guide, Jeffrey did a wonderful job of dramatically recounting the encounters that he and other employees have had at White Hall. This tour is offered two weekends in July every year. I've been on the regular tour of White Hall, and as someone who has visited most of the other historic homes in this area I can say with confidence that White Hall is the house to see! The house is beautiful, large (they actually take you up to the third floor and will take you into the cellar if you ask), and the family history is interesting. Cassius Clay was a fascinating man. From his emancipationist views, the cannon he kept, his second marriage at 84 to a 15 year old, and the unanswered question of whether or not he fathered the orphan he brought home from Russia after he was an ambassador there, you will not be holding back yawns listening to his life story.
