The natural beauty of the area is
unsurpassed
and recreational resources are bountiful. Rippling streams
with waterfalls run through and border small farms; bridle trails wind
throughout the countryside, and the lush woodlands afford excellent
hiking and camping. The hunting is
good, too, with deer, squirrel and
other
wildlife plentiful.
The abundance of trout has given the
Green
River the reputation of being the best fishing river
in the
state. Near the county line is the Green River Lake State Park, which
draws many fishermen annually. As well as being a fishing paradise,
the Green River has been studied by archaeologists for its importance
in the earth's history. Rare shells
and Indian artifacts can be found
along the riverbanks and many local farmers have
collections turned up
by their plows.
Beautiful Lake Cumberland, 105 miles long with a |
|
shoreline of 1,255 miles, lies 50 miles south of Liberty. Its
sparkling blue waters afford excellent fishing, swimming and boating.
