Winter’s here, and there’s no better cure for a case of the winters than a change of scenery. Luckily, Kentucky is full of so many amazing attractions that offer fun and recreation galore — and Lake Cumberland State Resort Park ranks high on the list. This perennial favorite gets a lot of love from spring through fall, but we’d argue that winter might just be the best time to visit. Between the beautiful landscape (made even more alluring beneath a blanket of snow), amazing outdoor recreation, and park amenities and accommodations, Lake Cumberland State Resort Park is an amazing and affordable winter staycation in Kentucky that will have you excited about this cold and snowy season!
Every year, after the holidays have come and gone, a quiet stillness descends upon the Bluegrass State. This is winter in Kentucky, and it’s wonderful.

And while you may be tempted to hibernate until spring, the beauty of the winter months is best experienced outdoors. As such, we recommend taking a weekend for a mid-winter getaway at one of Kentucky’s numerous state parks.

While all of Kentucky’s state parks offer unrivaled experiences, it’s hard to pass up the opportunity to experience Lake Cumberland in the winter. The Houseboat Capital of the World takes on new beauty in the cold winter months. And the park’s cottages and lodge gives guests a front-row seat to this spectacular seasonal show.

In addition to boasting a prime location, the accommodations at this Kentucky state park are all incredibly affordable, too. All of the accommodations here are the perfect blend of modern and cozy, with beautiful views and top-notch amenities, like the temperature-controlled indoor swimming pool at Lure Lodge.
