When outdoor adventurers are planning their next exploration, they might be on the lookout for breathtaking views. They might prefer water sports, a great campsite, or a secluded hiking trail. One of the best qualities of Kentucky's Taylorsville Lake State Park is that it's got all these and more, from equestrian-friendly campsites to nature hikes that will lead visitors to some of the state's prettiest scenes for viewing wildlife.
Taylorsville Lake State Park is one of the most beautiful parks in Kentucky to spend a day, and it's only a short drive from Louisville.
There are 24 miles of trails in this park that are perfect for biking, hiking, and enjoying the fantastic lake views.
In addition to all the park activities, it's one of the best nature preserves in the state to explore a diverse array of wildlife and plant life. There's even a trail called "The Wildlife Viewing Trail" at the park.
If you're looking for a great spot for bird-watching, this is the park for you.
If you're headed to the park for a weekend of camping, you'll have no shortage of spots to choose from. The park has 42 different campsites equipped with the resources for RVs. There are also ten campsites designed for equestrian campers.
The beautiful Taylorsville Lake provides a myriad of activities to enjoy on the lake, whether you want to spend a few hours on a boat or fishing in a secluded cove.
The park is open from March 15 through Dec. 15. It's the quintessential camping destination for the whole family and one of the best in Kentucky.
If you want to explore the region more, head to the Taylorsville Lake Marina for a few hours for lunch in a relaxed atmosphere on the lake. For those looking for nicer accommodations than the park's campsites, book a night at one of the lakeside cottages at the nearby Edgewater Resort.
