Estill County has beautiful scenery. Yet we haven't advertised it. We hear much about adventure tourism and hiking trails these days. Many eastern KY counties are bringing visitors to their community. Look at Pilot Knob in Powell County or Indian Fort Mountain near Berea KY.
There are NO public walking trails in Estill County. How about creating some trails near the Fitchburg Furnace, Cottage Furnace, Sweet Lick Knob, Henry Mountain or Rockhouse Mountain. Lee, Jackson or Rockcastle counties have the Sheltowee Trace trails running through them.
Let get Estill County to the forefront of the adventure tourism. Property owners of the mountains behind Broadway should consider selling land for adventure tourism. Think of the out of county ATV riders and cyclists, not to mention hikers, who would come here and spend money. This money would help local businessmen. This money would keep local businesses afloat.
Remind our local officials about adventure tourism. Estill Countians need to change their attitude toward growth, tourism, and look to encourage visitors to the community.
