Visit the new library
Ericasmurf99 Says:
If you need quick internet access then head over to the brand new library. My mom still has dial-up (gasp) so I came here to do some school work. Very nice, big, friendly staff, and there was a nice play area for kids.
Old Mill Park
Ericasmurf99 Says:
When I was young this place was just two small hills, green grass, and a dirt trail to walk on. But Old Mill Park has really become a beautiful little park over the years! They have built a gazebo between the two small hills and have placed grills and picnic tables in the...
Treadway Memorial Park
Ericasmurf99 Says:
A lady donated her land to create this park. I didn't even know it was called Treadway Park, I always called it the Veterens Park. When you see it you'll know why...it has a big army tank and the flags of all the armed services.
Swinging Bridge at Old Mill Park
Ericasmurf99 Says:
When I was a kid the swinging bridge was really a big deal. It was scary, but in a fun way. I can remember how it was such a big deal to be standing out in the middle of it. It hasn't changed a bit.
Days Inn West Liberty Ky
3 Reviews and 12 Opinions What a filthy hotel and unprofessional staff! You would be better off to drive 50 miles than to stay...
Freezer Fresh Dairy
Krumlovgirl Says:
As you can probably tell by my other pages, I am nuts about Frosty Freezes. This one was one of the first that I ever went to and whenever I go through West Liberty on my way to visit my dad I always stop and visit it. They have really great onion rings, as well as good...
Dairy Cheer
Krumlovgirl Says:
Unfortunately, this place is no longer in existence. Sad. I love Frosty Freezes, the collective term I use to mean all independently owned and operated dairy restaurants. Although it’s not uncommon for me to drop $150 + on a meal, there’s something about a cheeseburger,...
Patties Place: Patties Place
Ericasmurf99 Says:
Homemade country food; great food, fast and friendly workers. And if you are from the area, there is a good chance you will run into people you know. Everytime I go in here I know someone.
Walls of Grace Tea Room (and book store): Very elegant
Ericasmurf99 Says:
The pastor of the Index Community Church built this nice little place. Very pretty on the inside; very well decorated. Great food and friendly service. The hours seem to always change, but I believe as of now they are closed Sunday-Monday, the rest of the week they are open....
Freezer Fresh: Freezer Fresh
Ericasmurf99 Says:
These little types of places are great. Everything is cheap (i.e. ice cream cones 25 cents), they make it fast and they taste great!There is no place to sit, you just pull up and park and walk up to one of the two windows to place your order. Then one of the girls will wave...
Giovanni's: Giovanni's
Ericasmurf99 Says:
Greasy pizza, all the rage when I was in high school (and when fat and calories were no match for me!). But it is pretty good. I heard they moved locations though, so I don't know if it is still on Prestonsburg street or not. I'll get back to you on that.***I just got back...
China King: China King
Ericasmurf99 Says:
West Liberty gets some "culture" haha. This place came after I moved away, so I have only eaten there one time when I was in visiting family. It was good!
McDonalds: McDonalds
Ericasmurf99 Says:
Who writes a tip about McDonalds? lolI am including it because it is one of the few places to eat at in West Liberty, plus it is special because I used to work there! ; )
Fish Fillet (number 10?)
Food Court: Food Court
Ericasmurf99 Says:
This is four fast-food restaraunts in one...good for a family with picky people I guess. One can eat here, one can eat there...you get the idea. Seems like the places are always changing, but currently the four restaraunts are: Arby's, Pizza Inn, Long John Silvers and A&W.
Non-exsistant
There is not a bus system, subway, or even a taxi service in West Liberty. No rental car companies.
But more than likely if you are in West Liberty you have family driving you around anyway. Like me. : )

Sorghum Festival
Ericasmurf99 Says:
The Sorghum Festival is always the last weekend of September. They close down Main Street and set up a long tent with many booths underneath. At these booths you will find a variety of Appalachian crafts, local art, food, wooden crafts, and other odds/ends things. It is...
Bluegrass Festival
Krumlovgirl Says:
The Bluegrass Festival is exactly what it sounds like- a festival celebrating Bluegrass music. It usually happens around the first of July (in 2005 it was the 10th and 11th) and runs for two days. All sorts of Bluegrass bands play and they also have open mike sessions and...
Sorghum Festival
Krumlovgirl Says:
The Sorghum Festival was always a big deal at our house. It was akin to going to the state fair. So what is Sorghum? Think really thick molasses. We eat it on popcorn and biscuits. They have a small carnival, craft booths, a parade, a cane mill and mule, and live music....
They got it fixed...
Helpfulness
Krumlovgirl 623 reviews
No longer a problem, they finally got it fixed! But for old times' sake I'll leave it up....
They are currently expanding the road from West Liberty to Morehead. Since they basically have to tear into a mountain, there are huge rocks everywhere and they are not restrained at all. Be careful when driving this road because the area has been known to have falling rocks anyway, without the help of man.

Cave Run Lake
Cave Run is mostly located in Rowan County, but since West Liberty is just 15-20 minutes away is makes a great day trip.
You can swim, have a picnic, watch/feed wildlife, camp, and just basically have fun at the lake!
I go into more detail on the lake in my Morehead page.
