You’ll
feel the magic of the Kentucky Bluegrass and especially
beautiful Woodford County (home to many historical horse farms)
as you drive scenic roadways leading to Scottwood.
Horse
farm tours can be arranged if your schedule allows it. |

| The
Elkhorn Creek,
almost 100 miles long and winding through parts of six counties,
played an important role in the settlement of the bluegrass
area. Poet Walt Whitman, whose brother was encamped in
Kentucky in 1863, wrote: |
| "A southerner soon as a northerner, A planter nonchalant
and hospitable. A Yankee, bound my own way, ready for trade, My
joints the limberest joints on earth And the sternest joints on
earth, A Kentuckian, walking the vale of the Elkhorn in my
deer-skin leggings,..."
(Leaves of Grass (1860)

Whether your interest
lies in exploring historic sites, photography, hiking, fishing (
some sections of the creek are great for bass fishing ),
picnicking, or just a quiet canoe ride, the Elkhorn and the
Bluegrass Region is a place you'll want to return to again and
again. |
