here as part of the Frankfort Parks system.

Description: Capitol View Park is a 150 acre park in Frankfort with
softball fields, soccer fields, picnic areas and a basketball court.
Surrounding these areas are a great network of trails for the beginner
and experienced rider. The trails consist of mostly tight twisty
singletrack, a few creek crossings, a fireroad, one downhill section,
two whoop-de-do sinkholes and some jumps. The trails are mostly
hardpack, with some small rock, gravel and gra**ections. Trail
conditions are usually good but rain can make riding slippery for a few
days. 



Patrick,

How is the mountain biking (bicycling)?

And the Buffalo Trace Distillery  http://www.buffalotrace.com/ is  in
walking (for a hiker) distance from the camping area and the hotel or
easily accessed by car.

I am curious what types of tours or sites people would be interested in.

We have a great walking tour of downtown Frankfort, Shaker village
http://www.shakervillageky.org/is less than an hours drive.

Horse farm tours area possibilty.

Frankfort itself has a great downtown, shops, restaurants, cafes, bars
all with in a few blocks of the Capitol Plaza Hotel and the River View
Park area.

If you like bourbon, don't miss the Woodford reserve tour, between
Frankfort & Lexington. Also Boone Fort is just south of Lexington.
