The Western Kentucky Region

Whether you like to swim with the fish or catch them, Western Kentucky’s Lakes & Rivers Region offers ideal opportunities for outdoor recreation. The Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers, combined with Lake Barkley & Kentucky Lake, create a virtual playground of recreation in the 15 counties of western Kentucky. Fishing, hunting, boating, hiking and wildlife viewing are just a few of our many outdoor opportunities.

Naturally, there are unlimited opportunities for fun on the water, but on land you can enjoy the beautiful parks and privately-owned resorts, quaint bed and breakfasts and hotels/motels around the region. Enjoy trips to history museums and art galleries, golf, tennis, horseback riding and more. Make plans to attend some of the one-of-a-kind festivals and other special events that add to the unique heritage and culture throughout the region.

Get your bags packed. Then sit back, relax, prop up your feet and stay for a while. Your friends in Western Kentucky’s Lakes & Rivers Region welcome you with Southern hospitality.

For your next visit to the gorgeous Western Kentucky Waterlands area, consider staying in a timeshare rental property. All of your vacation needs will be met as you explore the Lakes & Rivers region from a comfortable, conveniently located timeshare. Take time for coffee and relaxation in the morning before a boating or fishing trip, or attend a music festival that celebrates the area's Southern roots!

Be warned, however, the relaxing environment might be contagious. You could find yourself waving at strangers, feeling safe in a crowd and sharing fish stories with the locals. You might forget about the stresses of everyday life and focus on the simple things, like teaching a child to bait a hook, learning to sail, rediscovering your passion for American history or finding that perfect antique.
