[7] Leitchfield lies in the Clifty Area, the sandstone-dominated belt that is usually classified as part of the West Kentucky Coal Field but separates the coalfield from the limestone-rich Pennyroyal Plateau.
A fault running through the area puts limestone at or near the surface, and there are quarries west of town.
[5] The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.
[13] The annual Twin Lakes National Fiddler Championship is held each year on the Court Square.

The fair features a variety of festivities, including a demolition derby, carnival rides, truck and tractor pulls, field crop contests, and a beauty pageant.
What started as an ice cream social on the county square in 1992 has turned into a weekend-long festival.
Every July, the Ice Cream Festival, now planned and operated by K105, features a beauty pageant, rides, games, a mixed doubles tennis tournament and the largest fireworks show in the area.
Hundreds march from the Leitchfield firehouse to the county square holding signs of local veterans who died in various conflicts.
The ceremony consists of several speeches, the roll call of local veterans who died in the previous year, and the singing of the National Anthem and Amazing Grace.
Also, WKHG carries the radio sports broadcasts for Grayson County High School, the University of Kentucky, and the Tennessee Titans.
