Kentucky Dam Marina
 

Kentucky Lake and Kentucky Dam Marina
Beautiful Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park is one of the most popular parks in the Kentucky State Park system. While Kentucky Lake has something to do with this popularity, the park is also known for its hospitality, beautiful lodge and cottages, and wonderful golf course. They’re also known for their many fun activities you and your family can enjoy throughout the year. One, its Arts and Crafts Show, is coming up later this month.

Information is beneath the picture of its beautiful lodge…

Groundbreaking for Recreational Trail at Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park

January 19, 2017 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park Lodge
 

I love Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park – I always have. Even the beautiful lodge, alone, fascinates me.  See the picture at the top and the one below? Unless you’ve spent time at the Park, you probably wouldn’t guess that these are pictures of the same Lodge.  The fascinating entry to the lodge (below) with its beautiful columns is beautiful in its own right, but the back view really takes your breath away – the way it sits up on the hill overlooking Kentucky Lake? Stunning.

What can I say, I just love photographing and spending time at this Park.

In fact, I actually wrote something once titled Why Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park Fascinates Me. Simply put, it’s a wonderfully relaxing place to spend a beautiful afternoon.

Below is some exciting news from the Kentucky Sate Parks and it concerns KDV, one of the state’s most popular parks.

A groundbreaking for a new recreational trail at beautiful Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park will be held on Saturday, Jan. 21, at 1 p.m.

The 8.5-mile trail will be open to hikers, runners, mountain bikers and wildlife enthusiasts. The groundbreaking will take place at the park’s horse stables, where the trail starts and ends.

The work has been carried out by volunteers and is expected to be completed in the spring. Natural obstacles will await mountain bikers along with easier routes designed for novice riders and those on foot.

Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park has a lodge, cottages, campground, restaurant, 18-hole golf course, marina, gift shop and many other recreational opportunities. The resort is 21 miles southeast of Paducah. Take Interstate 24 to Exit 27. For information, call 270-362-4271 or visit www.parks.ky.gov.

Friends of Pollinators Weekend at Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park

August 11, 2016 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Butterfly

One of Kentucky’s most popular State Parks is Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park. Located right on Kentucky Lake, the setting couldn’t be more beautiful. The lodge, itself, is a historically beautiful sight. Anytime you have a chance to visit this park is one you should take advantage of. I could, literally, spend an entire day there – visiting the guest shop, walking along by the lake, enjoying a cup of coffee in the restaurant, sitting and reading an Agatha Christie book on the back patio… It’s just a beautiful place to spend some time.

If you love bees, gardens, and butterflies, Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park has something that’ll be of interest to you. The Park will host the Friends of Pollinators Weekend Aug. 19-21.

The weekend, co-sponsored by the Garden Club of Kentucky, features workshops on container gardens, native trees and shrubs, bees, rain gardens, photographing pollinators and creating a monarch waystation. The workshops begin Friday evening and run through Sunday morning.

For more details about the workshops, visit: http://parks.ky.gov/parks/resortparks/ky-dam-village/

The cost is $30 per person. Lodging packages are also available. Call 1-800-325-0146 to register.

Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park features a lodge, cottages, campground, golf course, marina, convention center and full-service restaurant.

The boat ramp at Kentucky Dam Marina on Kentucky Lake has reopened to boat launching following a reconstruction project.

The ramp, located within Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park in Marshall County, closed Nov. 30, 2015.
