“Kentucky State Parks offer a variety of recreational activities that families can enjoy while continuing to engage in social distancing,” said Gov. Andy Beshear. “Our parks are full of adventure for Kentuckians of all ages, and we guarantee that if you visit a state park, you will not be disappointed.”

Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park in Burkesville was awarded 1st place for golf course.  Dale Hollow Lake is an outstanding vacation setting within a 3,400-acre state park. The park lies along the southern border of Kentucky and set on Dale Hollow Lake with 620 miles of shoreline. 

Green River Lake State Park in Campbellsville was 1st place winner for camping spot.  The entire campground sits along the shoreline of Green River Lake with 167 RV campsites and 60 primitive/tent sites. 

My Old Kentucky Home State Park in Bardstown is a new inductee into the Best of Kentucky Hall of Fame after being voted the number one designation of historical landmark/museum site for three consecutive years.  The park also received a 2nd place award for best historic site.

“Each of our state parks offer a unique experience for families to enjoy,” said Tourism, Arts, and Heritage Cabinet Secretary Mike Berry.  “State parks serve as the perfect family getaway for Kentuckians looking to travel and stay close to home.”

Other Kentucky State Parks recognized include:

  • John James Audubon State Park in Henderson received 2nd place for museum and 3rd place for adventure.
