Nestled within the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, McCreary County is a region with many scenic wonders. With both the highest and largest waterfalls in Kentucky, McCreary residents certainly have reason to be proud!

With 428 beautiful square miles in the Eastern Coal Fields Region of Kentucky, McCreary County formed in 1912 becoming Kentucky’s newest county. Timber and coal industries have played an important role in the county’s history.
