Team Kentucky released its new 2026-2027 highway map on April 2, showcasing a range of experiences for families and travelers across the commonwealth.
The map highlights historic horse landscapes, themed trails, accessible attractions, and various festivals and events. According to the announcement, the map is a collaboration between the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Tourism, Arts & Heritage Cabinet. It promotes ADA-accessible attractions as well as traditional navigation options for those who prefer paper maps.
Featured destinations include Russellville’s Author Fest, Louisville’s Biscuit and Bourbon Derby event, and Pineville’s Laurel Cove Music Festival. The map also provides information on primary and secondary roads, parks and trail locations, state police posts, weigh stations, and more.
Governor Andy Beshear said, “We’ve broken our tourism record for three consecutive years because there is no limit to what Kentucky has to offer – whether that be our world class bourbon, adventures for families, one-of-a-kind Thoroughbred industry or world class culinary scene. That’s why we’re encouraging everyone to enjoy our New Kentucky Home and build memories that will last a lifetime. There’s no wrong turn in Kentucky.”
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray said, “Creating the best adventures starts with a safe and smooth trip to your destination. Whether you’re a Kentuckian driving the length of the Mountain Parkway or a visitor cycling through the legacy trail, we take pride in offering safe and efficient roads and bridges that serve everyone to enhance their Kentucky experience.”
Tourism, Arts & Heritage Cabinet Secretary Lindy Casebier said, “From caves to mountains and other natural wonders, from cultural attractions and museums to horse racing and bourbon distilleries, Kentucky has so much to offer. The new highway map will help steer both visitors and locals toward New Kentucky Home experiences. We encourage everyone to pick up a map as a guide in traveling the roads of our commonwealth.” Maps are available at rest areas and welcome centers across Kentucky.
