KENTUCKY LAKE OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
Reconnect with Nature
Let’s face it. Life can be quite stressful. Work-life balance, taking care of your family and juggling the ever-increasing cost of living just piles on the pressure.
Here at Kentucky Lake, we are in the “de-stressing” business. Away from big cities and urban settings, Kentucky Lake offers a literal breath of fresh air.
With so much water and shoreline, access to a plethora of outdoor activities, and some of the friendliest people around, Kentucky Lake will help you reconnect with nature.
So welcome to our website. We’ve created this tool to help you take your next step to finding a place that your whole family will love – all without the hustle and bustle, noise, and crowds.
Recent online, radio, social, and digital marketing campaigns for the Kentucky Lake CVB have been paid in part by the Kentucky Department of Tourism. For more information on KDT, please click the logo.

Looking for a place that actually feels clean and comfortable? In the Pines Cottages are super cute with a really nice interior that feels well put together, not just basic. There are plenty of cottages to choose from depending on what you need, you’re only about 5 minutes from Paris Landing, and having boat parking right there just makes everything easier if you’re planning time on the water. Check it out at the link in the comments.

Making your stay an absolutely unforgettable one in the best way possible is our goal. The more we love reading reviews like this 5-Star review from Scott:
The location is remote and peaceful. Access to town, groceries and the rest are within a quick drive.
The Forest Dome itself is unique and stocked to perfection. All the amenities and extra touches demonstrate a real concern for the quality of the service and customer interest. Great care is taken to curate and ensure on-going privacy and comfort.
Management is present and accounted for - they care and were responsive + effective in every communication from beginning to end. Overall the the value of the trip was higher than 5 stars - highly recommended!!
