About Beattyville

Sitting right where the North and South forks of the Kentucky River meet, Beattyville is a peaceful Appalachian town with a close-knit feel. It serves as the seat of Lee County and sits just minutes from the Daniel Boone National Forest, putting rock climbing, hiking, and kayaking around the Red River Gorge right at your doorstep. Daily life here revolves around a quiet riverfront and a historic main street. It also comes alive each fall for the Woolly Worm Festival, a beloved local tradition where racing caterpillars predict the winter weather.
