Kentucky POTA Multi-Park Spots

Places in Kentucky where you may be able to work two or three POTA parks at once, with GPS guide pins that get you to the area, checked against the POTA rules: overlapping boundaries on land that belongs to both parks, the Sheltowee Trace and Pine Mountain Trail through other parks, Trail of Tears and Lewis & Clark sites, Ohio River banks, and Trail of Tears Water Route shores on Kentucky Lake and the Mississippi.

GPS PINS ARE GUIDES ONLY • DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH • CONFIRM EVERY BOUNDARY ON THE OFFICIAL MAP. This will get you close. The rest is up to you.

The pins get you to the area of a possible 2-fer or 3-fer; they are not confirmed activation spots. Put together by the Kentucky Portable Club from public map data and not field-checked at every spot. Once there, make sure you and your gear are on public land inside every park (within 100 ft of the trail or the water for trail and river parks; national forest spots count only on Forest Service-owned land). Riverbank pins have not been checked against the actual water line. 2-fer means two POTA parks only.

Compiled by the Kentucky Portable Club, Oct 13, 2026; pins rechecked Oct 17, 2026: every overlap and trail pin sits at least 100 ft inside every park line, as close as possible to the parking, trailhead or trail crossing on file (riverbank pins are still approximate), from the KPC site data, the Forest Service land ownership map and USGS river outlines: official state and federal park boundaries, the KPC park guide and its parking and entrance points, the Sheltowee Trace and Pine Mountain Trail lines, and the National Park Service's Trail of Tears and Lewis & Clark route lines. "Trail enters" points are where the mapped trail crosses the park line, often a road or trailhead. The Daniel Boone National Forest outline includes private land, and much of the Trail of Tears follows today's roads, so confirm you're on public park land. The Lewis & Clark trail in Kentucky is the Ohio River itself; do your own research before counting riverbank spots. Wickliffe Mounds, Big Bone Lick and Golden Pond Visitor Center are not within 100 ft of the river or the trail; they are listed because they are on the National Park Service's Lewis & Clark "Visitor Centers in Kentucky" list. Trail of Tears spots were checked against the NPS Trail of Tears route map.
