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.

2025 ended with fog and stillness. This photo is of that fog and stillness.
2026 began with clarity and stillness.
That contrast is incredible only because of the change.
Look at this photo. See the smoke on the water, the sun behind clouds.
There is beauty in uncertainty.
Only in stillness and we reflect upon the uncertainty, as the lake reflects the sun, the clouds, and even the fog.
Maybe I`m reading too much into thos, but I find it funny how 2025 ended in fog and stillness, and 2026 begins without that fog, yet the stillness remains.
I have a funny feeling about 2026. It`s a good one, however.
I hope you all have a fantastic 2026. Happy new year! And remember, enter this year renewed. Even a simple change in thinking can lead to massive change.
Thank you all for staying with me through the year! Im grateful for you!
