Saul delivers the quiet, bluegrass-country pace many home seekers crave, with quick access to big scenery and everyday essentials. Outdoor lovers head to Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park, where woodland trails, calm coves, and wide-open water invite hiking, paddling, and year-round lake views. Farther afield, the sprawling Daniel Boone National Forest offers backcountry exploration, while the Red Bird Wildlife Management Area provides opportunities for hunting, birding, and rugged ridge walks. When you need a town day, the county seat of Hazard and nearby Hyden offer dining, errands, and community events without the crowds.
Families appreciate options anchored by Perry County Schools, which support academics, career pathways, and robust extracurriculars. Many Saul residents also look to Red Bird Christian School for its small classes and K–12 continuity. For skill-building and degree programs close to home, Hazard Community and Technical College connects students to trades, healthcare, and university transfer routes. Healthcare needs are well-covered at Hazard ARH Regional Medical Center, a regional hub with emergency and specialty services.
Life here revolves around creeks, church suppers, and Friday-night ballgames, with festivals across Perry County and neighboring Leslie County adding seasonal color.
