GROUP OUTINGS, TEAM BUILDING, PRIVATE EVENTS, OH MY!

There is something new to experience in Lexington!  We are excited to offer great group rates and packages perfect for your company’s next retreat or outing.  From a full day of teambuilding, a picnic by the creek, to a large reservation Canopy Tour, we will accommodate to fit your needs!

Along with our Canopy Tour, we offer a hiking trail that follows the creek through the gorge, past towering limestone cliffs, wildflowers, old growth trees, and a spectacular waterfall.   We have ample indoor space for programming, activities and relaxation.  A lodge is nestled on Boone Creek with plenty of indoor and outdoor deck space for groups as well as a smaller cabin with a spacious outdoor deck.  Picnic tables, benches and campfire rings are also available.

We invite you to come see the property and showcase all there is to offer your group.  Whether you are looking for a fun place to boost team morale, host team building workshops, or just a new destination to send corporate guests who are visiting central Kentucky, Boone Creek Outdoors is a perfect spot for it all.
