Kentucky Resorts and Lodges with Wildlife and Nature

Drop your anchor and stay at Lake Barkley’s finest, Eddy Creek Marina Resort. Located on the northern end of one of Kentucky’s best bass and crappie fishing lakes, this sprawling beachfront resort is not only an angler’s dream come true, but a complete fun-filled Kentucky family destination. Stay in your own digs at the resort’s RV park or try one of the comfortable motel rooms or cabins scattered throughout the grounds. Boat and fish on more than 160,000 acres of water, including Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. Or go on a day trip to the neighboring Land Between the Lakes and explore the 40' dome planetarium, elk and bison range and horseback riding trails. Learn More...

A world-class fishery awaits you at Big Bear Resort – Kentucky Lake’s first resort! Established in 1948, Big Bear has had more than 60 years to become what it is today. Its sprawling 52 acres of wooded, lakeside property has everything – from condos, townhomes and villas to cottages, chalets and even a log cabin originally built in 1812. Pitch a tent on the campgrounds and check out the full-service marina where you can rent a boat or dock your own. And fishing guides will know just what direction to point you in for your big bass, crappie and catfish catch of the day. Not a fisher? Then just relax on the private Big Bear Beach or golf and go-cart in nearby Gilbertsville! Learn More...
