LCDHD reached out to me via email today and they had been requested by the EEC state department I was in contact with, to immediately shut the beach area down and conduct testing. We were heard. This has only been 3 days since I sent my email, after I had such an amazing and loud response. According to the email I received regarding recreational swimming areas from the state department who oversees to our HD: 902 KAR 10:120. Section 7 is the applicable portion to beaches and explains testing for E. coli. If this is indeed an area that has been sectioned off for swimming then plans need to be submitted to Public Safety Branch to start the process of getting an establishment number and routinely inspected. Why haven't we been testing this area? It was never filed. Oh and there are still people swimming all around it, but our focus was on the beach, I guess water stays in one area. Also our county told the Commonwealth Joirnal that due to stagnant water causing an overgrowth of bacteria that they were closing it. I'm not sure how I feel about that?

You need 1) a waterfall that generates a lot of mist 2) dark surroundings 3) full moon (2 days before and two days after) 4) fir the full moon to be a 42 degree angle over said waterfall. This is the only place in the Western Hemisphere that meets these conditions monthly, and you will see lots of other Moonbow chasers during that period. The park is stunning anyway, with dramatic boulders and loads of gorgeous hiking. Not to mention, the area borders on the Daniel Boone National Forest, so there are arches and vistas all around. Currently, DuPont Lodge is closed for renovation within the park, however the Woodland Cottages (where I stayed), cabins, and campgrounds are good to go!

Disc golf course, pickleball courts, multiple playgrounds, several picnic shelters. It goes for maybe a half mile along Dixie Street with multiple entrances. At 7am on a Sunday, there was a good bunch of folks walking. It's clear that some people use the park for a "morning meetup" as they get in their steps and that was nice to see. The park is in excellent condition with neatly mown grass, no trash anywhere and all of the equipment I saw was cared for. The playground had several things to climb on, slide down and swing on. Plenty of parking near the covered picnic shelter that had picnic tables and trash cans and a charcoal grill. There is also a dog park here but I didn't see it this morning.

Hubby went to change the oil in our truck and there was oil in the coolant. It was not drivable. After speaking with multiple people including the park manager, we were not allowed to simply switch our reservations from the campground to the lodge. They are two separate entities. Keep this in mind when booking. When I called to book at the lodge, I asked about fridge and microwave and was told they rooms don't have them. Check in went well. When we arrived at our room, there was a minimal number of lights. It was quite dark. One lamp between the two queens. No floor lamp. The screen door to the balcony was busted. I called the front desk and we were moved to another room for $40 more. The elevator was gross. I used my fingernail to see if the rust-like stuff would come off and it was easily removable. The entire trip I was tempted to get a Brillo pad! The new room had a fridge and wasn't missing lights. The next thing we discovered was that there was no daily housekeeping. Supposedly this was because of COVID. There isn't fear of catching COVID but here in KY people simply stopped working during COVID and they didn't return to the workforce after COVID. Towels, coffees, etc. were available two buildings over at check-in lobby. The next crazy thing about the lodge is there is minimal food! There was a breakfast buffet and a dinner buffet, but no diner and only take out for lunch. The nearest grocery store is more than 10 miles so bring whatever you need to eat, plus utensils! The breakfast buffet was good. Service was good. Again, nice people. It was a small breakfast buffet but adequate. No fruit, cold cereal, muffins, omelets, veggies... but the basics were available for $15. The pool and hot tub were good temps. Clean. Lots of kiddos from the campground on the rainy day. Speaking of the campground, the outdoor pool was supposed to open before the holiday, but they were only interviewing lifeguards that Friday to start after Memorial Day weekend. Poor planning? Here is a very odd thing. On the rainy day, our lodge/camper group wanted to play games. We went to the activity room. There were two nice game tables but there were no chairs!! So we went to the area off the lobby to play cards. We were the only ones in the area by the fireplace and the ceiling fan was on. The front desk figured out how to shut if off, but the AC vents were blasting cold air out. We tried moving the table and chairs but air was blowing everywhere. We played a couple rounds but we were freezing! We asked the front desk if the temps could be adjusted to make it warmer or just shut the system off. It was only 50 outside, rainy and cloudy. We were told the temperature inside the lobby area was electronically controlled by "the state"!! Very very interesting that a State Park which should have some environmental conscience wouldn't allow staff to adjust indoor air temps based on outdoor temperatures. Doesn't seem like a way to conserve. Lastly because of the baby, the kids brought the golf cart to the campground. It's street legal, licensed, insured, etc and they paid $25 to have it with them. Some lodge guy told the kids that the park ranger would ticket them for using the between the campground and lodge. Nice to know after the fact. We watched the baby while the kids had a date night at the State Dock restaurant. One of the cooks had quit that day. The 45 min wait time was an hour and a half, the food was bad. My son-in-law had diarrhea starting that evening and throughout the next day! Nobody else thankfully caught it, so probably something with the food. All in all, the park has so much potential, but Kentucky seems to struggle for average. We rented a pontoon on our last day, and the rental at State Dock went smoothly. Unless you have a boat, I recommend visiting Dale Hollow.

It's hard to hate any park. This park is another hit and if you're in Danville, it's a must stop…read more Every time I'm in the area, I always stop here. This park starts off with numerous baseball fields which I assume that little leagues use throughout the summer. Spread out around the park are a few small children's playgrounds. The organized sports and fun for the kids: Check! Near the middle of the park there is this decent sized pond with a fountain. Also ducks! Lots of ducks! Different ducks! Friendly ducks! Did I mention there are ducks? Benches and swings are all around the pond. It's the perfect place to take a daytime date to relax. Date/Nature/Pond: Check! On one side of the park and out of the way you'll find a small skate park. It is tiny and they really should expand it for the skaters in the area. They have more than enough room and it's hard to find great places to skate. Alternative activity space: Check! On the other side is a paved path that circles the park. It's a great path, but I wish it wasn't just a flat and winding path. They should install more trees or other things to admire. This path is surrounded by grass and only grass. I think this park could benefit from more trees, plants, and flowers. There is a gazebo on one side of the park in this area. There is also a dog park tucked away. The only reason this park gets a 4 instead of a 5 is because of wasted space. There's a lot of underutilized space that could be made beautiful here. I'm surprised anytime I talk to someone from the area and they have no idea that the park exists. Everyone from Danville and the surrounding area should use this park! No excuses!

My boyfriend brings his binoculars so he can birdwatch, while I love checking out the latest work of the beavers near the shoreline of the lake.

And there are lots of picnic areas, whether you're looking for large covered gazebos or a simple picnic table, and there are grills available for use. I can't give 5 stars because there is quite a bit of trash in places (people can be such jerks) and the bush honeysuckle is out of control. But I do love coming here, without a doubt.
