Cadiz, Kentucky

Lake Barkley State Park Marina (day 1)



Leaving Green Turtle Bay



Along the Lake Barkley



Yes, we finally made it to Cadiz, Kentucky. The trip down was very nice with great weather and plenty of sunshine. We traveled a little slower than usual with no problems encountered. Fall is definitely in the air. The night time temperature prediction should be in the high 40’s.



We have been assigned to a fifty foot slip under cover! Normally this type of slip would be some what expensive but at a state park in Kentucky its only $21 for the night. With this we have access to golf, a beautiful beach, health center with swimming pool and the largest log building east of the Mississippi River, which is the Barkley State Park Lodge.


Cove into where the property is




Dock in front of property

After arriving at the marina we dropped our dinghy installed the motor and streaked across the lake to our property. This area has changed so much since I purchased it. The property on both sides of ours is now developed with houses. What was once raw wilderness are now beautifully manicured grounds with most of the trees still in place. The density of the trees is great enough to hide most of the buildings when viewing from the lake. 



Tomorrow Chris and Bruce will play golf and Barb and I will take care of some property related matters. Tomorrow night we will dinghy to the lodge for dinner.
