Ashland is a small city on the bank of the Ohio River on the northeast corner of Kentucky. The city serves as a major economic and cultural hub for the region: the Ashland Commercial Historic District is loaded with historic buildings like the Camayo Arcade, unique cafes and bistros, countless specialty shops, and the landmark Paramount Arts Center.
The city’s enormous Central Park is a popular hangout on sunny days, with a walking trail, a tranquil pond, and a baseball diamond. Just north of town, residents enjoy close access to huge swaths of nature preserves, with thousands of acres to explore in Dean Forest and Crown City Wildlife Area. Huntington, West Virginia is only fifteen miles to the east, making it easy to hop over for business or pleasure.
