The beautiful hills of eastern Kentucky are all summed up here in the Prestonsburg's Jenny Wiley Lake area. The lake glistens in the setting sun and includes many activities in the general area. Golf, warm season amphitheater, fishing, hiking and boating are among those family filled adventures. It even has a chair lift up the mountain over looking the lake.
Seeing a play at Jenny Wiley Theatre is a wonderful experience. The outdoor theatre is located in the Jenny Wiley State Park.
The State designated the highway from Ashland to Pikeville the 'Country Music highway' to honor the country music recording artists grew up in this region, such as Ricky Skaggs, Loretta Lynn, and Crystal Gayle. See the movie Coal Miner's daughter, for an idea what the area was like when Loretta Lynn grew up here near Paintsville. At one time this area was very remote and beautiful. Sadly, strip mining has flattened many mountains and left silt in some of the rivers and lakes. However, the area still has great beauty especially in the Spring when the redbud and dogwood trees are blooming.
