Roxana rewards those who value quiet hollows, front-porch sunsets, and quick access to mountain adventure. Tucked along Linefork Creek in Letcher County, the community sits a short, scenic drive from both Whitesburg and Jenkins, giving residents small-town calm with convenient amenities. Weekend explorers head to the waterfalls and cliffs of Bad Branch Falls State Nature Preserve, a crown jewel managed by the state’s conservation agency (see Bad Branch Falls State Nature Preserve), wander the old-growth trails at Lilley Cornett Woods, and make day trips to panoramic overlooks at Kingdom Come State Park. When the seasons turn, hardwood ridgelines blaze with color, and quiet roads deliver memorable fall drives.
Families are served by Letcher County Public Schools, with wide-ranging academics, athletics, and career pathways. Older students can tap dual-credit and workforce programs through Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College in nearby Whitesburg. The region’s creative pulse is strong, too; Appalshop showcases Appalachian film, music, and storytelling, powering a year-round calendar of performances and community projects. For care close to home, Whitesburg ARH Hospital provides a full-service medical campus, and everyday needs—from groceries to local diners—are within an easy hop of Roxana.
