This state is an amazing place because of it’s diverse environments and abundant resources, also included is the world’s longest cave system, Mammoth Cave National Park; there are plenty of long navigationable  waterways and streams that are within the Lower 48 states; this also includes the two largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi River.
