Magoffin County, Kentucky
Magoffin County is tucked away in eastern Kentucky, where the mountains don’t mess around. Salyersville is small but scrappy. It’s also the county seat.
The county’s got some great spots for hiking and fishing. Licking River is one of those spots, which runs through it.
There’s a cool little swinging bridge that’ll test your fear of heights. If you’re traveling along the Mountain Parkway, Magoffin County offers a peaceful break from the road.
