Kenlake State Resort Park

Activities

• 

  Boating

  Nothing can compare to a day on beautiful Kentucky Lake. The marina is equipped with 16 open slips, 169 covered slips and 890 feet of new transient dockage to accommodate boats up to 100 feet. A launching ramp is available as well as a Marina store with gas and diesel and a restaurant serving breakfast and lunch.

  Bird Watching

  We have excellent birding throughout the park. Take a look out the dining room windows for a variety of backyard bird species at our feeders. At the cottage area the red-headed woodpeckers and all their relatives like to hangout. We also have two Blue Bird trails, and several hiking trails. The lakeshore is always good for Herons, Egrets, waterfowl and gulls. Over 150 species of birds make the Kenlake area home. Be sure to check the event calender for our Winter eagle tours, where you can take guided tours either aboard the CQ Princess excursion yacht or by passenger van. Check the event schedule to find out dates & information about the Winter Eagle Tours!
