Kentucky Lake

The lake has an abundance of 13-14 inch fish and a rising bass population.

Reviewed By BHappy2 - Springfield, Illinois

Whether you are looking to fish, boat or just sight-see, the South's Great Lake (extending into Kentucky and Tennessee), provides many and varied opportunities. Water clarity is good (for a Tennessee River lake), and summer water temps are warm and inviting for water-based activities. Numerous marinas offer everything from rec boats, fishing boats, wave-runners to tubes and kayaks. A great diversity of fish species ensures opportunities to catch "something" during all seasons of the year. The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area provides beautiful, virtually unspoiled wildness along its Eastern shoreline, while VRBO and various resorts provide lodging opportunities along its Western shore. Kentucky Lake certainly provides its share of something for everyone at this, "the South's Great Lake" !

Badgett Playhouse

Shows at the Badgett Theatre in Grand Rivers rival anything you can find in Branson or Nashville. High-caliber talent, music and performances right here in West Kentucky! The Playhouse is a 6,000-square-foot facility located on JH O'Bryan in Grand Rivers behind the Welcome Center. It features state-of-the-art sound and lighting (including moving light fixtures), and 15 exciting shows per year!

Really enjoy their first Christmas show of the season. The music was very upbeat and some comedy too. The performers were very talented and enjoyed what they were doing making it even more fun. Never got the impression that they were just going thru the steps and music just to get it over with. The ending is simply beautiful. Highly recommend.

Calvert Drive-In Theater

Reviewed By mistevens - Evansville, Indiana, United States

This is a quaint little Drive-In in a quaint little town in Kentucky by the Lakes. I runs first-run double features and has a great Snack Bar with excellent prices. It is a Must go for lovers of Outdoor Movies and reminiscing of times from the past. You can use the speakers on the stand or tune-in on FM radio, we chose both to get great stereo sound. We will go again and again when we visit the Lakes

Maggie's Jungle Golf & Jungle Run

Reviewed By FJDriver - Essex, Vermont

Were looking for something to do on a hot summer afternoon, and chose to go to Maggie's Jungle Golf. Had a wonderful afternoon playing miniature golf. What made this a real treat was being in the cool shade on a hot day. A well-maintained facility, and one where the whole family can enjoy some time together for a very reasonable price. You won't be disappointed.

Reviewed By karensSouthernIN - Southern IN

So many things to look at! Loved the mix of merchandise. Very cute store. We spent about 30 minutes there and bought a rug for the camper. They have everything from clothes and jewelry to home items and decor. I really enjoyed this place. You've got to stop in when in Grand Rivers.

Twin Lakes Antique Mall

Reviewed By Coff33

Easy to find, park, and get around inside. One of the best laid out antique malls we have seen. It's very clean and organized, with spotless restrooms. The prices are reasonable. The employees are helpful and generally know the inventory of their vendors. Allow at least 90 minutes to look at all the booths if it is your first time.

Calvert City Golf & Country Club

Reviewed By Karen C

This is one of the best golf courses in the Western Kentucky or Southern Illinois area (and I've played them all). The greens are MiniVerde Dwarf Bermuda Grass greens and the fairways are lush carpet-like El Toro Zoysia grass. There are five teeing areas, several sand bunkers and lakes that come into play. Challenging to play, but "lady" friendly with the two sets of forward tees. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Definitely a course you do not want to miss if you head to the Western Kentucky area. They do not take tee times, but there is no problem getting out on the course. Rates are very reasonable.

Kentucky Shores Family Fun Center

Reviewed By stevenwK1786KS - Kansas City, Missouri

First of all, as you enter, they promise a treetop experience, and it is in no way, shape, manner, or form a treetop experience. Secondly, the zip lines are in dire need of being reconfigured in several areas. On at least 4 of their lines, there is a chance that you will not make it to the other end and may get stranded due to the lines not being taut enough. It happened to several members of my group, including myself. The staff knows this, and one staff member said that its been a problem for quite a while. I have zip lined numerous times, and when one staff member suggested it was the wind blowing the wrong direction that causes the problem, I could not hold back my laughter. The wind blowing in a certain direction will not affect a properly laid zip line. I have no idea who I would recommend do the zip lines at this facility because a beginner is not going to get an experience that will keep them wanting to zip line in the future, and an experienced zip liner will be completely bored. All in all, a very disappointing experience.
