Paducah is beautiful in all seasons, but springtime is especially enchanting with distinctive sights of the season including the longstanding Dogwood Trail tradition! With social distancing mandates in place this spring, we asked locals to find and share the beauty of our community with those unable to travel to experience it firsthand this April.
Take a virtual photo tour of spring in Paducah, Kentucky! These delightful images of dogwood trees from all vantage points, flowering gardens and other bright spots were shared by Paducahans to inspire YOU.
