Choose a public-land day by the river
Ballard County's visitor guide identifies Ballard and Boatwright wildlife management areas among its large public outdoor spaces. Check current state rules and conditions before planning wildlife viewing, fishing, or a seasonal hunt.
Pair the mounds with the river overlook
Build a half-day around Wickliffe Mounds State Historic Site and the Fort Jefferson Memorial Cross, two stops that explain why the meeting of the Ohio and Mississippi matters here.
Step inside the Barlow House story
The eleven-room Barlow House preserves original furnishings, needlework, art, and a family's wide-ranging collection. Its limited volunteer hours make checking ahead part of the plan.
