State Park Overview:
Located on the western shore of Kentucky Lake, Kenlake offers a choice of quiet relaxation or active recreation. Take to the net at the tennis center, a seasonal facility with temperature-controlled courts, racquet rentals and a pro shop as you play a relaxing game of golf on our 9-hole golf course.

Kenlake State Resort Park is a polished vacation and business retreat in the heart of one of the nation's finest outdoor recreation areas. The resort is only minutes away from Land Between the Lakes, a 170,000-acre nature lover's paradise and environmental education area. Located on the mid-west shore of Kentucky Lake, with the longest shoreline of any man-made lake in the eastern United States, Kenlake is the perfect spot to enjoy the great outdoors!

Our FAVORITE summer destination!

We have stayed at Kenlake State Park 3 summers and plan to again this summer! We love everything from the southern hospitality, boating, biking, horse back riding, swimmning, the beautiful surroundings, FOOD and the MANY things to do while we are there. We have stayed other places but none of them match the ammentities and feel of Kenlake State Park! I HIGHLY reccommend a week long stay in the cottages - the lodge is great too! My husband and I have 4 children and we find Kenlake State Park VERY kid friendly!

Nothing can compare to a day on beautiful Kentucky Lake. The marina is equipped with 21 open slips, 127 covered slips, and a launching ramp.
