There’s an abundance of natural beauty in Kentucky, from the tops of our rolling blue hills and green-tinged mountains to the depths of our coppery, colorful caves. Our lakes are particularly striking, boasting clear-blue waters so pristine, they rival anything you’d find in a Caribbean paradise! And Dewey Lake certainly ranks at the top. The most vibrant lake in Kentucky, Dewey Lake is a place you must see to believe. And we highly recommend doing so in person.
A longtime favorite Kentucky State Park, Jenny Wiley State Resort Park is located in the eastern region of the state, and offers visitors 2,871 acres of pure Bluegrass beauty.
