Welcome! Kentucky vacations are about fun, family, friends and memories. It’s about catching a giant bass or crappie or skiing alongside 2,300 miles of shoreline. It’s about taking time to slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures like breakfast in bed or cooking around your campfire. It’s about feeling like you really ARE on vacation. It’s about Kentucky vacations at Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley.
When we say you’ll feel like a kid again, we mean it! The memories of your youth will come rushing back to you while you enjoy your Kentucky vacation along Kentucky Lake or Lake Barkley. Race go-karts, play miniature golf, take a bike ride, visit the animals at the nature station, watch a Kentucky Constellation presentation inside the planetarium, go horseback riding, take a swim, hop on a jet ski, camp out, hunt, fish, shop, boat, bird watch, see a drive-in movie, golf, see a live country music show, go to a dinner theatre, or see live blues or bluegrass music on your Kentucky vacation. Whatever you decide, make sure the kid inside you gets to choose!
