Paris Catacombs Contain The Remains of How Many People?

Did You Know!

Kentucky has more navigable miles of water than any other state in the continental United States except Alaska.

While Kentucky is often associated with horse racing, bourbon, and coal mining, few people realize it boasts roughly 90,000 miles of rivers, streams, and waterways. This extensive network includes major rivers like the Ohio River, Kentucky River, and Cumberland River.

The abundance of waterways played a crucial role in Kentucky's early settlement, trade, transportation, and economic development long before railroads and highways became dominant. Today, these rivers continue to support recreation, tourism, and commerce throughout the state.
