I prefer this side of the lake anyway so you don't have a ton of options but for what you pay, improvements should be made. They redid the dock story last year after new ownership and that's about it. The steps to the parking lot are over grown with weeds and unusable, and the overnight boat slips are always filled with trash, nothing to tie up to, and half of the slips are unusable. I won't stop coming here, but this place has a lot of work to do.

You can view different falls, cascades, flow stones, and more from short distance strolls to overlooks, or delve deeper into the gorge for a closer view. Swimming is not permitted except in certain areas, so take notice, people have drowned here. Be careful when hiking and exploring the floor of the gorge as the dam can release water with limited warning. That being said, the Twin Falls and Great Falls are lovely, and the diverse landscape keeps the walk extremely interesting! Me and the dog did the Upstream and Downstream trails on the Twin Falls side, and the Gorge Trail on the Great Falls side, and while Dianne, they are steep and slippery, so wear proper shoes!

It's on Green River Lake and although it reminds me of Lake Cumberland, this dock is not near as busy as any of the docks I've been to on Lake Cumberland. We were camping about a mile up the road, at Holmes Bend Campground and hadn't planned on it, but spontaneously rented a boat here. Ok, it was a fishing boat, not a pontoon. They do have pontoon and house boat rentals too, but considering that it was Independence Day weekend, I wasn't surprised that those were already rented out. I will have to mention that I was surprised at the maintenance of the fishing boat... not mechanically, but the cleanliness. Co-webs, dirt and fishing hooks, all could've easily been swept or sprayed out prior to our rental slot. Although we didn't book it prior, it just seemed like they would've prepared the boat for business... just an observation and worth mentioning. It really wasn't bad enough for me not to recommend it or go again. Inside the dock, there is a restaurant area. They sell above average 'order at the counter' dock food. And it's fairly cheap too. There is also a beach and a fish pier within walking distance. I just wish I had more time to spend in the area. There was so much to do, you could easily spend a week's vacation here.

The houseboat itself was well stocked and had 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a water slide off the back. We found multiple beautiful places to dock and jump off and swim. The staff here was so incredibly nice and helpful! They came down to the boat and explained everything so well and fitted all the kids for life jackets. We even needed a hand with a minor thing we couldn't remember while out on the lake and they came out right away and were so nice they just said "thanks for calling it gave me an excuse to come out here on this beautiful day" I highly recommend this for a trip to the lake!

Looks like it was built in 1975 with zero amenities like the newer ones. No radio, no chargers and only one bench seat in shade. The anchor was on a 5 ft rope that's it. Though I asked for the tube they forgot it and made it seem like they were doing us favors by giving us a couple sport vests . Rest of vests were old from the titanic style. Engine was a 90 hp go cart engine. The tube wasn't big enough for him and his pre teen daughter . We made the best of it but the cost was just as much as the modern ones elsewhere which really sucked! We tipped our deck hand good as he was amazing. We made the best of it but make no mistake....Time to upgrade .

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?

We have kayaked this 6 mile stretch of the Caney Fork twice…read more Our first was with another competitor. All I can say is they have great advertising and a Pirate and that's about it. Prices are comparable and kayaks are identical. We started off waiting nearly an hour before our departure time to make sure we have a full van load before leaving. After a 20 minute drive we put our kayaks in and had a nice float to our destination. That's where the fun ended. We had no one to meet us there from the company to direct us as to what we needed to do with the kayak, pfa's, etc. Finally someone shows up one hour later. They took our kayak and drop us off at a parking lot at the top of the hill where we waited another 30 mins for a ride back to the store. No communication and disorganized to say the least. This time we choose to use Caney Fork Outdoors. Not as well advertised but this is a hidden gem. Couldn't have been happier with our experience. 10 minutes from the time we swiped the credit card we were on the water. No hour wait to fill the van, no 20 min drive to the water. Just pay and play. Had a great day on the water then when we were done, they were waiting for us to load up the kayak and we were in a van and back to our car in 10 minutes. It was night and day to our first trip. I know not everyone's experience will be the same with either company, but just think it's worth it to give the folks at Caney Fork Outdoors a try. They may not have the flashy advertising but you are treated like a customer not a number and they are focused on you having a great time. Customer for life as they treat you right.

We've always had very good service from the restaurant, but this time the young man (Rhett) who did much of the taking care of us was so absolutely delightful that I felt compelled to write this review. There was also a lady who worked with us and was very efficient as well; I regret I didn't get her name. So many young people these days seem to have little to no ability to render interpersonal skills in providing service, but Rhett was exceptional and it did not go unnoticed. He was so accommodating, caring and he let his delightful personality show yesterday evening. I hope management will commend him. The food and drink was exceptional as always. I'm usually not a huge fan of mashed potatoes, but these were exceptional. My partner's favorite is always the dried fish. I would highly recommend this location for group activities or at least for a visit to the restaurant!
