I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Jenny Wiley State Resort Park is one of the most underrated treasures in the state. This Kentucky State Park is 2,871 acres of pure Bluegrass beauty, offering an abundance of opportunities for outdoor recreation of both the land and water varieties. The park’s crown jewel is the 1,100-acre Dewey Lake, a cerulean pool with some of the bluest water in the state. You’ll be dazzled by its azure waters, which make Jenny Wiley State Park truly stand out — even in a state that’s known for its abundance of rivers and lakes.
Jenny Wiley State Resort Park is located in Prestonsburg in Eastern Kentucky.
Dewey Lake has some of the very best fishing in Kentucky; its deep-blue waters flush with bluegill, catfish, crappie, largemouth, smallmouth, and rock bass.
Jenny Wiley State Resort Park is a place you’ll never want to leave. And happily, you can extend your stay here; the park’s resort has some of the most amazing accommodations in Kentucky!
