Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Calvert City offers a variety of ways to shape your stay: trails between downtown and Kentucky Lake, municipal recreation facilities, local history, and a drive-in. For planning, it helps to consider the types of routes and activities separately. That way, you can decide whether to focus on trails, exercise, culture, or a movie night.

Compare Greenway and Trails by Length and Type

The Calvert City Greenway runs from 5th Avenue downtown to Kentucky Lake. It includes four paved multi-use loop trails and an eight-mile singletrack trail. The Moneymaker Trail is a five-mile wooded singletrack trail in the center of Calvert City. Hiking, running, and mountain biking are all possible there. You can reach the trailhead via the rear parking lot of Calvert City Hall and the connecting multi-use trail.

The route lengths allow for a direct comparison: the Moneymaker Trail is five miles long, while the Greenway singletrack is eight miles long. Moneymaker is wooded and located downtown; the Greenway runs from there to Kentucky Lake and also includes paved loop trails. This lets you consider both length and trail type when choosing.

Memorial Park has a lighted 0.5-mile loop trail connected to the Calvert City Greenway Trail. This offers a shorter loop in addition to the longer singletrack trails. The park trail differs in its loop format and lighting; its connection to the Greenway is another specific point to consider when planning your routes.

Recreation Facilities Beyond the Trails

Old Park DGC is a nine-hole disc golf course in wooded, technically challenging terrain. Disc golf is clearly different from trail activities. If you’re planning different ways to stay active, you can consider the course as a standalone recreation option alongside hiking, running, or mountain biking.

Chris Bynum Skate Park is a lighted concrete skatepark with several ramps for skaters from beginner to advanced levels. Along with the disc golf course, it adds two more activities that differ from the trails on the Greenway and Moneymaker Trail. The details about the ramps and skill levels give you a specific sense of what the skatepark offers.

Community Tradition, History, and a Movie Night

AmeriBration has been a community tradition in Calvert City since 1989. The Calvert City Museum also offers a way to explore local history: visitors can discover more than 150 years of history there. These two activities appeal to different interests—a long-standing community tradition and the town’s history. So you can complement a stay focused mainly on trails with a cultural activity.

Calvert Drive-In opened in 1953 and has space for 400 cars. Admission to a double feature includes both movies. The concession stand serves Pepper Burgers as well as pizza, popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, and candy. If you’re planning a movie night, check the current showtimes. Its 1953 opening, vehicle capacity, and concession offerings give the drive-in its own place alongside the city’s outdoor and cultural activities.
