Kentucky Pictures, Events, Restaurants
Like all days spent at Rough River Lake and its beautiful state park.
The t-shirt above caught my eye and gave us a laugh. I love it when Rough River puts on its sassy pants!
I’ll add the pictures we took to Genuine Kentucky tomorrow morning. As you’d imagine, there are plenty and they’re all beautiful – not because of me, but because of the park.
Fun in the Sun Rough River Lake Style!
Winter’s beautiful and, make no mistake about it, there are a million and one reasons to love it- but I think warm (even hot) weather is on everyone’s mind and at the top of everyone’s wish list. I thought a little reminder of sunnier, warmer days was called for right about now.. as most of us are looking out the window at what the weather people promise us is Winter 2014’s Last Hoorah.
The pictures in the collage above are from a few wonderful summer days we spent on Rough River Lake. Just looking at these pictures makes me feel warmer and I’m hoping they’ll have the same effect on you.
Hang in there, Kentucky, each passing day brings us closer to lakes, warm days, and long walks.

Breathtaking. That was the word that kept running around in my brain as I watched (and photographed) the sunset last summer on beautiful Rough River Lake. We were on a boat tour at Rough River Dam State Resort Park as part of the lodge’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. Each time I put the camera in my lap, I’d see something else just begging to have its picture taken! It was a fun, beautiful, peaceful, and memorable boat tour and if you ever get a chance to take one of the Lady of the Lake tours at Rough River, jump on the opportunity like a cat on catnip.

My youngest daughter (Stephany) and I were riding around Owensboro today – with the heat blazing as snow decided whether it wanted to fall or not. It was a half-hearted attempt. Maybe it’s as sick of this weather as the rest of us are!
We found ourselves talking excitedly about warmer weather, lakes, boating, picnics, and both agreed that we couldn’t wait to get back on Rough River Lake. Rough River Dam State Resort Park is a favorite vacation spot with our entire family – whether it’s for a weekend or a day, Rough River Lake is perfection each and every time.
As we talked about their beautiful lake, boat tours, scenic walking trails, gift shop, and fantastic restaurant, I knew today’s picture of the day had been decided.
So here it is… a tribute to a beautiful park ran by beautiful people. Trust me, beautiful people, you’ll be seeing us soon. And often!

Boating on Rough River Lake
I snapped the picture above on one of the Lady of the Lake Boat Tours my husband and I took last summer. If you’ve never been on one of these tours of Rough River Lake, make this the year you take at least one. The minute the tour’s over you want to ask the Captain (quite the character, this guy!) when the next tour leaves.
Whatever you do, keep the following tips in mind:
Check out some of our pictures of Rough River Dam State Park, Rough River Lake, and the wonderfully relaxing boat tours.
It occurs to me that, for whatever reasons, I’m having more cabin fever than usual this winter. From what I’ve heard, I’m not the only one either.
I can’t wait for nice weather to get here and stick around. The great outdoors are calling me!
