Kentucky Stonehenge
Overview. This is a welcome break from driving when visiting Cave Country and points south - like Nashvegas, for example. Built over the course of five years by former Mayor Chester Fryer in the early part of this century, Kentucky Stonehenge is as close as you’ll get to the real Stonehenge without leaving the friendly confines of the Commonwealth. Add in an impressive stone cross, some hand chiseled rock canons, and a few other rock arrangements, and it’s a nice half mile stroll around the neighborhood.

Parking. Limited parking is available on a paved loop next to the owners’ house. Turn into the driveway and circle around the loop to leave room for other vehicles.
Trail Navigation. This is a grass lawn, so walk where you want, but the loop is pretty intuitive.
HIKER NOTE - Free, but Donations Appreciated. While the attraction is free, you can leave a cash donation in the planter on the island within the paved parking loop.
HIKER NOTE - Open Until 5 p.m. The privately owned property is open to visitors until 5 p.m. daily. Be respectful of the owners when visiting.
HIKER NOTE - Neighborhood. This is in a neighborhood, so it’s kinda weird, but pretty cool nevertheless. Still beats the daylights out of a pit stop at the gas station. I also imagined these rocks on one of the larger farms in the area and it would be pretty awesome.
