Kentucky Dam Village
State Resort ParkKentucky Dam Village is one of three state resort parks near Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, a 170,000-acre wooded peninsula bound by Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley.

You're Invited to Kentucky Dam Village
State Resort Park

Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park, located approximately 21 miles east of Paducah on the western shores of Kentucky Lake. Centrally positioned between the Evansville, St. Louis, and Nashville markets, our 18-hole Golf Course offers stunning scenery paired with a relaxing experience, unmatched in the area. Our original course designer, Perry Maxwell, has designed such notable courses as Colonial CC in Fort Worth, Texas (home of golf legend Ben Hogan) and Southern Hills CC in Tulsa, Oklahoma (site of the 2007 PGA Championship). Boaters and fisherman take to the immense Kentucky Lake from a modern inland marina. For the variety of species of fish that offer fast fishing and large catches, these waters are as good as they are big.
