""Susan Reigler's words and Pam Spaulding's photographs should immediately whet the appetite of Kentuckians to drop everything and descend upon their state parks with great enthusiasm, as there is much more to offer than was previously known or considered."--James Archambeault, author of Kentucky Horse Country: Images of the Bluegrass" --

""These are the Kentucky state parks and historical locations I recognize. All of them, except nine, Nina and I have visited. In fact, we had our delayed honeymoon in a cabin at Natural Bridge State Park -- in a snowstorm -- in 1959! Luxuriate in these pictures and narratives -- but, by all means, visit them yourselves. Then, write your own stories." -- Nick and Nina Clooney" --

""Reigler's descriptions of each park's highlights are as enticing as Spaulding's photographsAn invaluable guide to what Kentucky offers in its vast backyard, The Complete Guide to Kentucky State Parks will prove to be a useful resource well into the future." --Business Lexington" --

""A one-stop resource of all that is Kentucky in its landmarks, landscapes and historical sites, the book proves that one does not have to travel too far to relax, recharge and enjoy --all while being cost-conscious." --Chevy Chaser" --

""Packed with more than 150 evocative color photos.this paperback is a must for anyone who wants to take advantage of the commonwealth's bounty." --The Voice-Tribune" --

""Reigler's knowledge and practical advice, coupled with Spaulding's beautiful photography, makes for an informative and beautiful travelogue on Kentucky State Parks." --Lexington Herald-Leader" --

""The Complete Guide to Kentucky State Parks will take you on an enjoyable journey across the state and leave you anxiously awaiting your next trip to one of the many parks of the Bluegrass." --Paintsville Herald" --
