Within the lodge, Rowena Landing Restaurant is open year-round and serves up delicious food and shows off sweeping water views from the dining area. All are welcome to enjoy a meal here, whether or not you're staying overnight at the park.
If you would like to spend the night (and trust us, you'll want to), there are many options. Lure Lodge has 63 rooms, many of which overlook the lake and have balconies, and the park offers cabin rentals and campgrounds for every type of getaway.
One of the favorite features of the park is the lodge’s large deck that overlooks the lake. It's the perfect spot to spend time relaxing, reading, and planning out all you want to do during your visit to this beautiful area in Kentucky.
The list of things to do at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park is nearly endless.
