OLIVE HILL, Ky.Carter Caves State Resort Park near Olive Hill has re-opened after water service was restored over the weekend.

 

Recent flooding in the Olive Hill area damaged water lines, leaving Carter Caves State Resort Park without water for a few days last week.

 

The park’s lodge, cottages and restaurant are now open. The park’s campground, stables, golf course, cave tours, welcome center and mini-golf remained open during the weekend. The pool will re-open later this week.

 

The park number is 1-800-325-0059.
