West Point sits where the Salt River meets the Ohio, offering river views, a relaxed pace, and quick connections to Louisville and Elizabethtown. As part of Hardin County and bordering Meade County, the city blends small-town familiarity with regional reach. The City of West Point keeps a full slate of community events and services, and the town’s Civil War-era legacy is visible in local landmarks and a walkable street grid laid out in the 1800s.
History and outdoors come together at Fort Duffield Park & Historic Site, Kentucky’s largest Union earthen fort. Trails, reenactments, and river overlooks make weekend plans easy. Just south, the Tioga Falls Trail winds past cascades on land managed by U.S. Army Fort Knox; check access windows. Mountain biking, fishing, and archery range access await at Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area, and shops and dining are minutes away in Radcliff and Brandenburg.
Families are served by Hardin County Schools, which offers robust academics, career pathways, and athletics; higher education and workforce training are close by in Elizabethtown. Housing spans 19th‑century cottages, postwar bungalows, and wooded lots near the river, while US‑31W provides an easy commute to major job centers to the north and south.
