Big
Bone State Park
-
A short drive takes you to Union, Kentucky, where
Big Bone State Park is located. Giant mammoths,
mastodons, ground sloths, and other prehistoric
animals, driven southward towards the end of the
Ice Age, were attracted to the salt and minerals
found in the swamp area now known as Big Bone
Lick. Many of these prehistoric creatures became
trapped and perished in the quagmire surrounding
the swamps' ancient sulfur springs. Today, there
are hiking trails, camping and picnicking grounds,
a gift shop/museum, and a herd of buffalo.
