I love any and every chance to spend time at Lake Barkley State Resort Park – especially if there’s food involved. Lake Barkley’s Windows on the Water is one of my favorite restaurants in the Kentucky State Park system. They have consistently great food, served in a gorgeous setting.

Everything about Lake Barkley State Park is first rate, from the gorgeous lodge to the breathtaking views of Lake Barkley.  They also do a bang up job when it comes to special events and extra special performances, like the one detailed below.

From Lake Barkley Resort State Park:

With the sunset as a backdrop, The Friends of Lake Barkley State Resort Park are sponsoring an evening of jazz at the Lake Barkley Lodge’s Windows on the Water restaurant on Saturday, May 17, 2014.
