Grand Rivers
Grand Rivers is a small town located at the northern entrance to Land Between the Lakes, where Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley meet. Its location makes it a natural stop for visitors spending time on the water or exploring nearby trails, scenic drives, and visiting campgrounds in LBL. The town is compact and walkable, with restaurants, shops, and lake access all close together.
Grand Rivers is home to The Badgett Playhouse, which offers year-round live entertainment, along with seasonal festivals and community events that draw visitors throughout the year. A walking trail connects key areas of town, making it easy to explore without a car.
With direct access to both lakes and close proximity to LBL attractions such as the Elk and Bison Prairie, Woodlands Nature Station, and Golden Pond Planetarium, Grand Rivers works well as a base for outdoor activities while still offering dining, lodging, and entertainment nearby.
