Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Cold winters with ice storms being the primary hazard. The river valley can be particularly cold and damp. Protect paws from salt on sidewalks and watch for icy conditions along river trails.

Spring

38°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Beautiful Bluegrass spring with dogwoods and redbuds blooming. Spring rains can cause flooding along the Kentucky River. Tick prevention is important in this wooded river valley environment.

Summer

62°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid with occasional severe thunderstorms. The river valley humidity can make summer walks uncomfortable. Seek shaded trails and schedule activities for cooler morning hours.

Fall

42°F to 72°F

Sep – Nov

The horse country turns golden and the Kentucky River corridor is beautiful. Comfortable temperatures make fall the ideal season for outdoor activities. The Bluegrass foliage is understated but lovely.
