Hopkinsville

Visiting just one town or city, regardless of its popularity, usually only offers you a glimpse into the wider cultural and natural fabric of a region. So try to allow a few days to discover Western Kentucky's other cultural and natural attractions. Roughly 14 miles (23 kilometers) away you'll find Oak Grove. Head here to visit the War Memorial Park and Fort Campbell.

Bowling Green, is another interesting spot to explore. It is approximately 60 miles (97 kilometers) from Hopkinsville and offers a number of interesting tourist attractions, such as Beech Bend Park, Sloan Convention Center and CrossWinds Golf Course. Lost River Cave, Riverview at Hobson Grove and Carroll Knicely Conference Center are a number of other visitor attractions worth checking out for those who have more time on their hands.

The Western Kentucky area provides visitors a wide range of laid-back pastimes, such as shore fishing and wildlife watching.

When it's finally time to bid goodbye to Hopkinsville, head to the nearest major airport located in Nashville, 70 miles (113 kilometers) away.
