Is Kentucky Kingdom still open? I thought it closed for good after that poor girl got her foot severed. If it is still open, I second ThetaPrincess' recommendation to stay away from it.

I seem to remember something about it closing now that you mention it. It did stay open for a little bit I think after that incident happened. All of the rides and everything is still there though or at least was a couple of months ago when hubby and I went to Freedom Hall to attend a gun show (Kentucky Kingdom is literally right beside it). My opinion still stands, if it is still open by chance stay away, far far away!
I had forgotten about Lake Cumberland and the other areas around here for hiking, canoeing, boating, and dirt biking! My husband and the boys go dirt biking quite a bit during the summer. We dont own a boat, but we do own a canoe and like to do that on the lake and big creeks around here when weather permits. The gorge used to be an outstanding place to hike, but I think a lot of it burned in a forest fire recently, so I'm not quite sure how great of a hike it is anymore. We also have Natural Bridge State Park fairly close by. Raven Run is close to Lexington and a great place for hiking. I stopped hiking after the snake incident a few years back so that's about all the information I can give on that!
