Kentucky Life host Dave Shuffett sets out with outdoorsman Cory Ramsey for a hiking tour of Lake Malone in Muhlenberg County.

Ramsey grew up in Hickman, Kentucky, and has explored trails all over the country — literally dozens of hikes each year. Lake Malone is one of his Top Five Lakes, and he's compiled Top Five lists for Kentucky's best rivers, waterfalls, arches, woods, overlooks, mountains, and caves. Cory writes a blog, Map Dot, Kentucky about experiencing the great outdoors in Kentucky.

Lake Malone is 22 miles south of Central City. The lake itself is a 788-acre jewel surrounded by sandstone bluffs. The park offers two hiking trails, the quarter-mile Wildflower Trail and the 1.5 mile Laurel Trail, from which you can see rock walls once used as Native American shelters.

As they hike along the trails of this state park, Shuffett and Ramsey discuss the unique geography of the area and hiking opportunities across Kentucky's other state parks.
