Okay, let’s talk about my trip to Kentucky Dam State Park. I’d been itching to get out of the house for a while, and this place had been on my list. So, I finally packed my bags and hit the road.

First off, I checked the weather. You know how it is, gotta be prepared. It looked good, so I grabbed my hiking boots, some snacks, and a water bottle. Then I jumped in my car and started driving.
The drive itself was pretty chill. I just cruised along, listening to some tunes. Once I got to the park, I headed straight for the visitor center. I always like to grab a map and see what’s up.
After getting my bearings, I decided to hit the trails. They’ve got a bunch of different ones, so I picked a trail that was a good length and seemed interesting.
- Started hiking and man, the scenery was awesome.
- Took some photos along the way. You gotta get those pics for the ‘gram, right?
- Stopped by the lake for a bit. Just sat there and enjoyed the view. It was so peaceful.
After my hike, I was pretty hungry, so I found a picnic table and chowed down on the snacks I brought. Then, I just kinda wandered around the park for a while, checking out the different areas.
They’ve got a lodge there, too, which looked pretty nice. I didn’t stay there this time, but maybe next time I will. I also checked out the marina where you can rent boats and stuff. That looked like fun.

As the day was winding down, I decided to head back home. Overall, it was a really great day. I got some exercise, saw some beautiful scenery, and just relaxed. Kentucky Dam State Park is definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for a nice day trip or a weekend getaway. It’s got a little something for everyone, it is worth mentioning, don’t forget to take your camera.
