Located in Grand Rivers, Lighthouse Landing is home to a picturesque lighthouse and a lovely path to reach it and explore the surrounding area. This lighthouse walk in Kentucky offers unforgettable views and is an experience everyone should have at least once.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
Lighthouse Landing Marina & Resort is located in the waterfront town of Grand Rivers, right on the banks of Kentucky Lake.
Kentucky's largest lake is known as the ultimate vacation destination in the Bluegrass State, where you can truly escape from everyday life. The town is charming and has a lot to offer, including the scenic Lighthouse Landing.
The marina and resort are perfectly located on an inlet that houses dozens of boats.
This is a beautiful area to walk and explore and is a must-visit when in Grand Rivers. It's also where you can begin to stroll on the Grand Rivers Walking Trail.
The walking trail winds along the lake and through the town, but be sure to include a visit to the lighthouse.
There's a short, wooden walkway that leads you between the trees and out over the water. The lighthouse is not overly tall, but it's still one of the most picturesque spots in Kentucky.
As you walk to the lighthouse, there are benches along the way where you can sit and take in the views.
The designated two-mile trail also takes you out onto a jetty, which is arguably the best spot to watch a famous Kentucky Lake sunset. Be sure to walk the entire trail during your visit.
If you'd like to stay in a cottage where you can take in these views all day long, reserve one through Lighthouse Landing Resort.
