London KY Outdoor Gear & Gift Guides

Expert buying guides for London, Kentucky outdoor adventures, camping trips, and local souvenirs. Find the right gear for Levi Jackson State Park, Laurel River Lake, and the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Best Hiking Gear for Daniel Boone National Forest

The Daniel Boone National Forest spans over 700,000 acres across eastern Kentucky, with some of the most scenic trails in the state right near London, KY. Whether you're hiking the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail or exploring the cliff lines and rock shelters of the London Ranger District, having the right gear makes all the difference.

Start with a pair of waterproof hiking boots — the terrain is rocky and streams are common on many trails. A 50L hiking backpack gives you enough room for water, snacks, and extra layers without being cumbersome on day hikes. An LED headlamp is essential if you're hitting the trails early to catch sunrise from the overlooks.

During summer months, bug repellent and SPF 50 sunscreen are must-haves. The forest canopy provides shade, but exposed ridgelines and rock outcroppings offer no protection from the sun. Always carry a first aid kit — cell service is unreliable in many areas of the national forest.

Planning a hiking trip? Check out our guide to things to do in London, KY for trail recommendations and local attractions.

Essential Fishing Gear for Laurel River Lake

Laurel River Lake is one of Kentucky's premier fishing destinations, covering 5,600 acres with depths reaching 270 feet. The lake is home to largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, crappie, walleye, and channel catfish, making it a year-round fishing hotspot for London, KY residents and visitors.

A quality spinning rod and reel combo is the most versatile setup for Laurel River Lake, handling everything from bass to crappie. Pair it with a well-stocked tackle box kit that includes a variety of hooks, lures, and sinkers suitable for both shallow and deep-water fishing.

Safety on the water is non-negotiable. A USCG-approved life jacket is required for all boaters, and a waterproof dry bag will keep your phone, wallet, and fishing license dry. If you're kayaking to remote coves, both items are especially important.

Laurel River Lake is accessible via Holly Bay Marina and Grove Marina, both located near London, Kentucky. Visit our London KY attractions page for more information about marinas and boat launches.

Camping Essentials for Levi Jackson State Park

Levi Jackson Wilderness Road State Park is London, Kentucky's crown jewel for camping, offering 136 campsites with electric and water hookups. The park combines natural beauty with rich history — it's located on the historic Wilderness Road used by early pioneers including Daniel Boone.

A reliable 4-person camping tent with easy setup is ideal for family camping at Levi Jackson. Pair it with a cold-weather sleeping bag rated to 20°F — Kentucky nights can get surprisingly cool, especially in spring and fall when camping is most enjoyable.

A portable propane camping stove lets you cook hot meals without relying on a campfire, which is especially useful during fire restrictions. Keep your food and drinks cold with an insulated 24-can cooler that retains ice for up to 24 hours.

Levi Jackson State Park also features the McHargue's Mill, a working reconstruction of an 1800s gristmill, and the Mountain Life Museum. Learn more about the area's history on our London KY Heritage page.

Top Kentucky Souvenirs and Gifts

Looking for the perfect Kentucky souvenir or gift? Our London KY shop features a curated selection of Kentucky-themed merchandise that celebrates the Bluegrass State's rich culture, from bourbon heritage to Southern hospitality.

Bourbon whiskey glasses make an elegant gift for any Kentucky whiskey enthusiast. Kentucky produces 95% of the world's bourbon supply, making bourbon-related gifts especially meaningful. Pair them with a Southern comfort food cookbook featuring classic recipes like fried chicken, bourbon pie, and country ham.

A Kentucky state flag (3x5 ft) is a great gift for homes, businesses, or dorm rooms. For a more personal touch, a Kentucky coffee mug is a practical souvenir that reminds you of your London, KY visit every morning.

For apparel, check out our London Kentucky t-shirts, Daniel Boone National Forest shirts, and Kentucky Proud hoodies — perfect for showing your local pride. All products are fulfilled by Amazon with fast Prime shipping.
