Welcome to the Morehead Region of Kentucky!

The Morehead community is enriched with natural beauty. It is surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forest and only a few minutes from Cave Run Lake, the "Muskie Capitol of the South". There are beautiful hiking and biking trails around Morehead and Cave Run Lake for the outdoor enthusiast to enjoy. A day at Cave Run Lake is a must. There are boat rentals at Scott Creek Marina and a beautiful beach at Twin Knobs Recreational Area (www.southernregion.fs.fed.us/boone)

Morehead also offers some wonderful shopping. Our downtown has some unique gift shops and we also offer some great antique shops and malls. Don't miss out on the Kentucky Folk Art Center, located across from the new Morehead Conference Center. The Folk Art Center is lodged in the historic Union Grocery and offers visitors a unique cultural experience (www.kyfolkart.org). The newly restored Rowan County Arts Center is located adjacent to campus and houses several local artisans. There are several restaurants that the locals favor and I'm sure you will come to love them also as you come to Morehead to visit.
