Kentucky State Park Campgrounds Preparing to Open March 13

February 29, 2020 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Rough River Dam State Resort Park Campground

Playground at the Rough River Dam State Resort Park Campground

I recently told one of my daughters, “I have never been THIS ready for spring and summer in my life!” I am, undoubtedly, one of the biggest fans of winter in the world. I love the cold, brisk air, I love the extra excuses to indulge in hot chocolate, coffee, and chai tea lattes and I love the sweaters, hoodies, and scarves.

I watch excitedly for snow even when it isn’t in the forecast, I love college and pro football, and I delight in making more soup and chili than my family can possibly eat.

Having said all of that…. bring on the sunshine! Baseball, car trips, fresh produce, trees in bloom, flowers, birds filling the trees, and visits to Kentucky State Parks and the Land Between the Lakes always make me eager for spring and summer – more so this year than ever, for some reason.

When I saw the following press release in my e-mail, I let out an audible, “Whoop!” I always get excited when Kentucky Events start dropping into the inbox because it’s as though Kentucky… and my very world… come back to life after a long nap!

If you frequently camp or are beginning the tradition, look alive… Camping season is about to open at Kentucky State Parks!

Continued Below….

From the Kentucky State Parks:

“Our state parks are treasured by thousands of Kentucky families, including mine,” said Gov. Andy Beshear. “I hope to see Team Kentucky outside and having fun this year – stay safe and keep exploring!”

The camping season officially opens March 13, 2020, at all 30 Kentucky State Park campgrounds that feature about 2,300 campsites across the state.

“One of the most popular recreational activities at Kentucky State Parks every year is camping,” said Parks Commissioner Robert Conway. “We’re making some improvements at several campgrounds that our guests will like.”

During the month of April, all Kentucky State Park campgrounds are offering buy one night, get one free, Sunday through Thursday. (Use the promotion code “Spring2020” for online reservations.)

The weekend of April 24-26 is the annual Camper Appreciation Weekend when campers get two nights for the price of one. State park campgrounds are offering a variety of activities during Camper Appreciation Weekend, including entertainment, arts and crafts, putt-putt golf, bonfires, movies, cookouts and nature programs.

Several campgrounds will see upgrades during 2020. Electric upgrades are planned at Carr Creek State Park and General Burnside Island State Park is getting electric and sewer upgrades. Some sites at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park’s campground are being re-designed to better accommodate campers.

All state park campgrounds have water and electric services with dump stations or sewer hookups, along with picnic tables and fire rings at each improved site, and bathhouses. Primitive sites are also available.

Park sites will remain open through mid-November and a few remain open during winter months.

The campground at John James Audubon State Park remains closed in 2020 due to work on a nearby dam.

To make camping reservations at a Kentucky State Park or for more information, visit www.parks.ky.gov

Canoe and Kayak Rentals on Honker Lake This Memorial Day Weekend!

May 22, 2018 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Canoe Trip on Honker Lake
Read More About The Canoe Trip Above: Canoeing on Honker Lake in the LBL!
My husband and I enjoyed every minute of a canoe trip we took on Honker Lake a few years ago. Every single minute. Last summer, we were unable to make it (I can’t remember if it was weather-related or what… but I recall being pretty bummed about it!). Another opportunity is coming up and I hope you’ll be able to make it. WEATHER PERMITTING! I write that in all caps for obvious reasons…. seriously, what is up with weather this year? First it takes forever to run winter out of town and now rain is calling the shots.
Hopefully it’ll take the weekend off and allow fun on Honker Lake to reign supreme.

Nature Watch Weekends: Sandhill Cranes at Barren River Lake State Resort Park

November 22, 2016 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

In early 2017 (which will be here before you know it!), Beautiful Barren River Lake State Resort Park will host two Nature Watch Weekends centered around Sandhill Cranes.

Each year thousands of gorgeous and graceful sandhill cranes make Barren River Lake a stop as they congregate in huge numbers to migrate. The lake’s exposed mud flats in winter provide the birds with a perfect spot to rest and socialize as they settle in for the night. Ample farmlands and wet meadows offer plenty of food.

Tours will be offered for guests to learn more about these intriguing birds with a unique sound. Tours will be held Jan. 21 and Jan. 28, 2017. Each weekend also includes an educational session conducted by a wildlife biologist with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources on Friday evening at 7 p.m. Registration is $40 per adult and $20 per child 8-12 years old (must be at least 8 years old to go on van tours). The fee includes all educational sessions, a box lunch, a T-shirt and a choice of a Saturday sunrise or Saturday sunset tour.

Families and individuals can enjoy other entertainment and lodging opportunities at the park. Barren River Lake State Resort Park features a lodge, cottages, the Driftwood Restaurant, a seasonal campground, 18-hole golf course, marina, fishing, tennis courts, hiking trails, gift shop, and recreational and nature programming.

The park is located at 1149 State Park Road in Lucas. From the Louis B. Nunn Parkway, take the Highway 31E exit south toward Scottsville.

Cooler than Cool Kentucky T-Shirts at The Hitching Post

May 27, 2016 by Joi Sigers 2 Comments

Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley T-Shirt from The Hitching Post

Coolest T-Shirt in the History of T-Shirts: Kentucky Tee at the Hitching Post

Ever see something and think, “That just may be the coolest thing of all time?” That’s the feeling I had recently when I saw these gorgeous new Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley T-Shirts at The Hitching Post in Aurora, KY . This iconic Kentucky Lake Shop and Old Country Store is one of the places we hit each and every time we’re in the Kentucky Lake and Land Between the Lakes area.

Like catfish for supper, it’s a given that we’ll be found browsing, shopping, talking with the insanely FRIENDLY workers and owner, and (of course) sampling and buying their homemade fudge.

Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley T-Shirt from The Hitching Post

Each Color is a Knock Out

On our last trip (about a week ago), I was browsing through the Kentucky Lake/Lake Barkley t-shrits for a new one this season and found the ones shown here. I fell in love with them instantly and was trying to decide on a color when… all of a sudden… my eyes zeroed in on one of the “landmarks” mentioned on the back.  I saw Genuine Kentucky.com and excitedly said (out loud of course like all crazy people do), “That’s me!”

My brain said, “Pick a color, nothing, I’m buying three of each color!” To which, my billfold said, “Slow your roll, big shot, and pick a color.”

Although each color was gorgeous, I decided to go with the pink first.  I can always go back for the others, but my girly girl brain says, When in doubt, go with pink.

Kentucky Lake T-Shirt

The Pink T-Shirt I Gave a Good Home To

Each member of my family here in Owensboro has vowed to visit The Hitching Post for their own, which is all kinds of cool.

I hope you’ll grab a tee on your next visit to The Hitching Post – even if Genuine Kentucky weren’t mentioned on the back, it’d be the coolest t-shrit of all time. It’s a great representation of the beautiful Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley region with all the landmarks mentioned. A Kentucky t-shirt is a great way to show your Kentucky pride and the ideal way to spread the word about all that’s waiting to be enjoyed at Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley.

Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley T-Shirt from The Hitching Post

I See You, Willow Pond!

I seriously just can’t tell you how honored and downright blown-away I am to be included in this epic t-shirt. To be mentioned there with The Hitching Post, Land Between the Lakes, Belews, Golden Pond, Elk & Bison Range, The Dinner Bell, The Willow Pond (!!!), and the others is such an honor and is one of the coolest “Genuine Kentucky” related things that has ever happened to me… right up there with Governor Matt Bevin “liking” some of my Kentucky pictures on Twitter!

I’m so grateful and will never come down off of Cloud Nine.
