Salt Lick balances easygoing, front-porch living with quick access to big outdoor experiences. Set in Bath County and within an easy drive of Morehead and Mount Sterling, the city is a gateway to the clear waters of Cave Run Lake and the vast trail network of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Weekends can be as relaxed or as active as you like—launch a kayak at dawn, hike under hemlock canopies by afternoon, then wind down by a campfire at the family-friendly Twin Knobs Recreation Area.
Families appreciate the strong local school community anchored by Bath County Schools, with pathways that span early learning through college and career prep, plus a full slate of arts and athletics. Sports leagues, seasonal festivals, and lake-centered events give neighbors plenty of ways to connect, while day-to-day conveniences—grocers, locally owned eateries, and services in nearby towns—keep errands simple.
Housing ranges from creekside cottages and wooded acreage to updated ranches near town, and commuting is straightforward with US 60 and I‑64 close by for trips to regional employers and campuses. Anglers prize the area for its trophy muskellunge and bass, boaters love the broad coves, and hikers can choose a new trail every weekend without repeating a view.
