Lake Mingo Park — Attraction in Nicholasville

I would like to thank very greatly city of Nicholasville for the Lake Mingo Park. It is very well kept and has wide verity of activities for people of different ages. There are playgrounds for kids, nice walk ways, lake for people that like fishing, nice picnic areas. The only thing that missing is fenced dog play ground.

There is a basketball court, skate park, disc-golf throughout the trail, shelters & grills. Take your family next weekend! You won't be...

The place was a muddy mess and we parked next to a goose that didn't move out of the parking place. I assumed it had bird flu or mad duck syndrome or something, my 5 year old assumed that it was laying in wait to flog him. It turns out the goose had a name and it walked with a limp. The limp was caused by fishing line and stinkers being tied tightly around one leg to the point that it cut off circulation, and having a fishing hook through its other foot. My lovely wife caught the thing and I removed the fishing line and the hook. I have spent several hours congratulating myself for...
