Campground: Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park
Throughout history, the salt springs at Blue Licks State Park have attracted prehistoric animals, Indians & pioneers such as the legendary Daniel Boone. Many 19th-century southerners came to the area seeking the rejuvenation of the therapeutic, bubbling waters. Blue Licks is more widely known, however, as the site of the last Revolutionary War battle in Kentucky. In 1782, Kentuckians engaged Indians & British soldiers near the Licking River. Outnumbered, Kentucky suffered great losses, including one of Boone's sons. Boone's words, "Enough of honour cannot be paid," are inscribed on the monument dedicated to the fallen soldiers in the Battle of Blue Licks. Visit the Pioneer Museum to learn more about the fascinating history of Blue Licks State Park.
