The program is available to those on active military duty, retired members of the military, veterans, members of the National Guard and reservists. Proof of military service is required at check-in.
“We appreciate the men and women who serve or who have served in uniform and want to let them know how appreciative we are,” said Gov. Steve Beshear. “Our state parks offer great fun for families looking for a break and outdoor adventure.”
With the USA Military Pass, lodge rooms are available for $49.95 a night; one bedroom cottages for $74.95 a night; two bedroom cottages for $84.95 a night and three bedroom cottages for $94.95 a night. Tax is not included in these rates.
