Grand Rivers may have been named Kentucky's *most* beautiful small town, but the Bluegrass State really is home to the most winsome small towns in the country (in our very humble opinion, of course...) Bardstown definitely ranks at the list; named one of the best small towns in America, Bardstown boasts acclaimed Kentucky distilleries, historic sites and museums, amazing shopping and dining, charming horse-drawn carriage rides, railroad excursions, and loads of scenic beauty.
What can I do in Grand Rivers, Kentucky?
Grand Rivers really does offer a perfect slide of Kentucky lake life, and is an oasis for outdoor enthusiasts. For starters, this little town of less than 400 residents is bordered by Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, which both provide glorious opportunities for fishing, boating and relaxing. You can even spend a weekend at the marina at Green Turtle Bay Resort. You can rent a variety of boats from the marina, grab a bite to eat, book a stay at one of their waterfront condos, and watch the sun go down in this idyllic area of our state.

Where are some places to enjoy lakefront dining in Kentucky?
There's nothing quite as magical as dining on the water. Many of Kentucky’s larger lakes have marinas and resorts that include incredible restaurants, and some of our wonderful state parks have eateries right on a lake. Even if you are not staying at these places, you can still visit the restaurants! So if you enjoy dining with a waterfront view, you simply must visit these eight lakeside restaurants in Kentucky, especially during the warmer months. In Grand Rivers, Dockers Bayside Grille and Thirsty Turtle Tavern are must-visit spots; Ralph's Harborview Bar & Grill, located at Moors Resort & Marina on Kentucky Lake, is another stellar *and* scenic place to catch a bite; and over on Lake Barkley, Buzzard Rock Marina Resort is home to its own lakefront cafe that has some of the best views in the state.
