Natcher Parkway

  • Bluegrass, Blues & BBQ
  • Caves, Lakes & Corvettes

I-165 (formerly Natcher Parkway) travels the Western Kentucky roads that witnessed the birth of bluegrass music, the Corvette and delicious mutton barbecue. 

Whether you're interested in sampling the finest Kentucky BBQ or test-driving the most classic sports car in America, you'll find plenty worth stopping for on this Kentucky drive. You can even save some time to play underground at Lost River Cave and other subterranean spots in the Mammoth Cave area.
