Welcome To Historic Park City Kentucky

Park City is rich in history! Located right next door to Mammoth Cave National Park, Park City has been known throughout history as Bell's Station, Three Forks and Glasgow Junction. Park City is located just off exit 48 off I-65. Nolin Lake State Resort Park is about 40 minutes away and Barren River Lake State Resort Park is a 31 minute drive. Since cave tours began in 1812, Park City was the main stagecoach and railway stop for weary travelers heading to Diamond Caverns, Mammoth Cave and Ky Cave Country. Bell's Tavern was originally constructed as a stop for weary travelers headed to Mammoth Cave since the cave was opened up for tourists and additional exploration. Bell's Tavern ruins still stand today. Stop by current day Park City and view the ruins of Bell's Tavern and visit the Bell's family cemetery.

Our Historic Trails

Bell's Station, Glasgow Junction, Three Forks

In addition to the Railroad Trail, Mammoth Cave National Park offers several opportunities for bicyclists to get out into the outdoors. Street bicycles are permitted on all paved Park roads that are open to the public, mountain bikes are permitted on the unpaved administrative roads. In addition, certain trails have been specifically designated for off-road bicycle use, and more are now under development.

Several years ago, the Tourism, Arts, and Heritage Cabinet’s Ofﬁce for Adventure Tourism created the Cross Kentucky Master Trail Plan for non-motorized trails. The idea is to be able to travel across the entire state of Kentucky on foot, by bicycle, or by horseback. In the Master Trail Plan, Park City was designated a part of the "Kentucky Caves Trail". A 70-mile trail was designed, beginning at Barren River Lake State Resort Park, through Park City, Mammoth Cave National Park, to Nolin River Lake and ending at Rough River Dam State Resort Park.

Thousands of miles of trails and waterways criss-cross the beautiful state of Kentucky. We offer endless opportunities for outdoor adventures, staycations, and roadtrips. Along these trails, numerous communities have been designated as Official Kentucky Trail Towns. Park City is proud to be an official KY Trail Town! Visit Park City, we are the hub for travelers and cave visitors from all over the world!
