What to do...... If you are the outdoors type, you might as well just move here if you want to experience it all! The Kentucky Lake Region is a beautiful area with gorgeous scenery, a lot of history and miles of water for boating, fishing, canoeing and lazy days of just drifting on a tube in one of the largest man-made lakes in the U.S! Of course, no trip here is complete without visiting Land Between the Lakes (aka, LBL) with its 300 miles of shoreline, 170,000 acres of forest and 200 miles of trails for biking, hiking, wildlife viewing, camping and OHV. Then there is racing, train rides, water parks, horseback riding, camping and some great golf courses!
Looking to move indoors after too much fun in the sun? Paducah is a great place to go! Being a very unique, quaint river town, Paducah offers an abundance of events, festivals, museums, antiques, Quilts, shopping, art galleries, history, entertainment, nightlife and the famous Historic Riverfront and Floodwall Murals. Don't miss out on a trip downtown and stroll along tree-lined streets and brick sidewalks past turn-of-the-century buildings filled with antiques & quilt shops, boutiques, coffee and specialty shops, one-of-a-kind restaurants and more. Paducah After Dark in the summertime is a must see. Every Saturday night Paducah blocks off Broadway at 6th St. in downtown and hosts a varitey of music, food, and fun for all ages.
