Q:
What is there for children to do at your resort and
surrounding area?
A:
Mother Nature provides most of the entertainment at our
resort and surrounding area. We offer a small private
beach with picnic tables, and fire pit. We recommend
wearing water shoes due to the rocky approach into the
lake. Fishing gear and license are available nearby.
Sailboat rentals are available at Lighthouse Landing,
while other boats such as kayaks, fishing boats, ski
boats and pontoon boats are available to rent at nearby
facilities. The clean, warm water of Kentucky Lake is a
great place to teach children how to swim, sail, ski or
fish. Take the kids horseback riding at Happy Trails
Riding Stables or Pete's Stables or play miniature golf
at Maggie's Jungle. The Land Between the Lakes has
biking/hiking trails where you can see and enjoy an
abundance of wildlife. Bikes are available to rent
nearby. Take a drive through the Elk & Bison Prairie,
walk through the Nature Center, canoe on Honker Lake,
hike around Hematite Lake, stargaze at the LBL
Planetarium, or visit the Homeplace, where life is
re-created on a mid-19th century Southern farm. For a
