Cloverport Kentucky is a hidden gem on the Ohio River. This beautiful community in Breckenridge County has so much to offer. Its infrastructure is that of a county seat, with numerous government offices and agencies working hard by the people. It has a number of cool shops, a great restaurant, and many breathtaking views of the Ohio River. Be sure to check out the deck they’ve built – it’s a great place to just wind down and enjoy nature. The homes near downtown are also extremely spacious and beautiful. The roads are paved, the sidewalks are in great condition, and you’d be hard-pressed to find litter anywhere. The only issue is – WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE?!
When I filmed my video “A Walk In Cloverport Kentucky,” I spent about a half hour walking across the beautiful blue bridge into downtown and I was floored by what a beautiful community I encountered. I walked past a really nice restaurant/bar with an immaculate red sports car outside. The lights in the establishment were on, the tables looked ready for patrons, but I didn’t see anyone inside. I walked down for several blocks and was frightened by some movement in an empty storefront. It turned out to be a couple of cats who were probably as surprised to see me as I was to see them. As I passed my new feline friends, I crossed to the other side of the street, and walked back. I was able to see more of the beautiful homes and got the water tower up in the mountains on my video. As I walked by the restaurant and could see the beautiful blue bridge, a cyclist rolled by. I said hello and was able to get in a quick question.
“Is it always quiet like this,” I asked. “It sure is,” he replied. He was very nice and very friendly but his time in downtown was maybe all of 30 seconds. So between seeing a cyclist for 30 seconds, seeing a red car outside a lit up restaurant with no one in it, and being startled by a couple cats in an empty storefront, I can say I visited my first ghost town in Kentucky.
Cloverport has very real potential. All it needs is people.
