Elk Tours Offered At Two Kentucky State Parks Two state parks in eastern Kentucky will offer guests unique elk viewing tours this fall and winter. Participants are encouraged to bring cameras. The largest elk herds are located on privately owned lands that are normally closed to the public. This is one of the few opportunities available for the public to see the greatest number of elk. The return of elk to the region is considered to be one of Kentucky's biggest wildlife management success stories. The animals, after being gone from the state for 150 years, were returned in 1997. They now number around 10,000. Visitors to Jenny Wiley and Buckhorn Lake State Resort Parks can stay at a state park lodge or cottage to enjoy one of these unique tours.

Wants opinions: Buy bottled water only? Trish Zatkoff writes: From what articles Ive seen concerning our water, I feel that it might be better to drink bottled water . . . I wonder: Do CM readers concur?Trish Zatkoff - Thanks. Let's see what readers say. Certainly it's been unpleasant to drink the water from CAUD this time of the year. We're probably over the worst. Nature is, hopefully taking care of that. Ironic thing is, within yards of the plant good tasting tap water is coming through the pipes, some of it into Adair County for a lucky few. More ironically, the water comes from the same source, Green River Lake. - EW 2016-09-01 03:42:14 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
