The state of Kentucky is located in the Southern United States and belongs to the southeastern central States (“Upper South of the United States“). The territory of the state of Kentucky is 104,659 km2 (37th place among the US states).
Kentucky is bordered by seven states – Illinois to the northwest, Indiana and Ohio to the north, West Virginia to the east, Virginia to the southeast, Tennessee to the south, and Missouri to the west.

Kentucky is the only state in the United States that is bounded on three sides of the world by rivers. The western border of Kentucky is the Great Mississippi River, the northern border is the Ohio River, and the eastern border is the Big Sandy and Tag Fork Rivers.

In Kentucky, there are usually several regions: the Cumberland Plateau, the outer and inner Bluegrass, the Mississippi Plateau, the Western coalfields, and the”Jackson Purchase“.

In eastern Kentucky is the Cumberland Plateau, part of the Appalachian Mountains. This is a plateau cut by gorges and ravines with numerous rock outcrops, it is here that the highest point of the state – Black Mountain (1263 meters above sea level) is located.

The Cumberland Plateau is covered with forests, both deciduous and coniferous, including the Daniel Boone National Forest, named after the famous pioneer who explored Kentucky in the late 18th century. Daniel Boone Forest is one of the state’s tourist attractions, with many caves, beautiful lakes, gorges, and hiking trails.

Several rivers and streams flow along the plateau, and the picturesque Cumberland Falls on the river of the same name is called “little Niagara” or “Niagara of the South“.  It is known for the fact that a lunar rainbow is often visible in its spray.

West of the Cumberland Plateau, separated from it by a rocky cliff known as the “Pottsville escarpment”, is the Bluegrass district – the “heart” of Kentucky.

“Bluegrass“, the region got its name from the hilly plains overgrown with bluegrass grass, one of the symbols of the state of Kentucky. Bluegrass is steppe with very fertile land, perfectly suitable for pasture. Distinguish between ” inner “(around the city of Lexington) and” outer ” Bluegrass.

In the south of the state is the Mississippi Plateau, which is also called the” mint plateau “or”Pennyrail“. It is bounded by the Pottsville escarpment to the east and the Muldraw Hills to the north, a “transition” between the Bluegrass Steppes and the higher reaches of the Cumberland Plateau.

Rivers have washed hundreds of kilometers of caves into the limestones of central Kentucky. It is here that the longest in the world is located (more than 630 kilometers) karst cave system – Mammoth Cave. This unique natural formation is protected by the US government as a national park. Every year, about half a million tourists visit the Mammoth Cave. There are several other huge caves nearby, including Fisher Ridge (over 180 km) and Martin Ridge (about 55 km).

The Western Coalfield district of Kentucky owes its name to numerous coal deposits. The westernmost part of the state, the “Jackson purchase” (this unusual name is due to historical reasons), is an alluvial (that is, formed by river sediments) lowland stretching along the Mississippi River.

In addition to the Mississippi, Ohio, and Big Sandy border rivers, several other rivers flow through Kentucky, the largest of which are the Ohio tributaries of the Tennessee, Kentucky, Green River, Cumberland, and Likin River. Kentucky ranks second (after Alaska) in the United States in terms of the length of navigable waterways.

The state has the largest reservoirs east of the Mississippi by area (Kentucky Lake on the Tennessee River) and by volume (Cumberland Lake on the Cumberland River).

The state of Kentucky is characterized by a humid subtropical climate with well-defined seasons. Winter is usually mild and cool, with precipitation falling in the form of rain and snow. The average January temperature in the state’s largest city, Louisville, ranges from -4°C to 5°C, in the second-largest city, Lexington, from -5°C to 4°C.

Summers in Kentucky are usually hot and humid, with frequent fogs. The average temperature of the hottest month, July, in Louisville is from 214°C to 31°C, and in Lexington from 19°C to 30°C.
