Kentucky’s new 2024-2025 highway map highlights ‘larger-than-life’ attractions across Commonwealth

Whether you’re traveling through the beautiful Bluegrass, sampling the Bourbon Trail or exploring the state’s landmark rolling hills, Team Kentucky invites travelers to check out the state’s newest highway map for directions to must-see sights across the state.

The 2024-2025 map, a collaboration between the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, highlights the commonwealth’s new “Larger-Than-Life” trail. The trail includes 12 unique tourist attractions around the state, like Henderson’s largest collection of aviary images, the giant floral clock in Frankfort and Dinosaur World in Cave City. Hikers can explore the Red River Gorge in the Daniel Boone National Forest and boaters can enjoy one of our 45 major lakes. This issue of the map also features a special nod to Kentucky’s natural sandstone arches.

“From our signature bourbon and Thoroughbred industries to our rich culinary traditions, iconic music and unparalleled natural beauty, our new Kentucky home offers no shortage of reasons for lifelong residents and visitors alike to get out and explore the places and meet the people that make our commonwealth one of a kind,” said Gov. Andy Beshear.

The map includes highway information and important traveler information, including primary and secondary roads, symbols for parks and trails, state police posts, weigh stations, and more.

“However you choose to enjoy Kentucky’s attractions and scenic views – by foot, bikes, cars or motorcycles – our focus is on providing a transportation network to get you there safely,” said KYTC Secretary Jim Gray. “Even in our modern age, printed maps have their place and continue to be a fan favorite requested by travelers and families in and out of our borders to chart their great Kentucky adventure.”

“Kentucky offers a rich tapestry of tourist opportunities, including natural wonders, vibrant cultural experiences, unique outdoor adventures and so much more,” said Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet Secretary Lindy Casebier. “The new highway map will help guide both visitors and locals in discovering some of the commonwealth’s authentic experiences. We encourage everyone to pick up a guide to help with their travel planning.”

Maps will be available at Kentucky rest areas and welcome centers. To download an electronic copy or request a printed copy, visit transportation.ky.gov .
