Kentucky State Parks MEETING & SPECIAL EVENT PLANNER’S GUIDE 502.564.2172 PARKS.KY.GOV Kentucky Department of Parks Kentucky State Parks MEETING & SPECIAL EVENT PLANNER’S GUIDE 502.564.2172 Kentucky Department of Parks MEETING & SPECIAL EVENT PLANNER’S GUIDE Come to understand just how Kentucky’s “unbridled spirit” can build a memorable meeting experience that is surrounded by spectacular nature and our famous Kentucky hospitality. With beautiful lodges and cottages nestled next to a lake, in a valley or on top of a mountain, Kentucky State Parks offer a variety of meeting and social facilities, affordable menus and a staff dedicated to making your event not only a success, but unique and fun. Imagine gathering where the only interruption may be an eagle soaring overhead or a deer glancing into your meeting room. Your dining experience could be a lakeside dinner, a reception on a pontoon boat, or maybe a pig-roast on a beach. The options for events at our parks are as numerous as the different types of trees and flowers found in Kentucky! Educational tours and nature programs add value to your meetings and our park interpretive staff can create a program that is specific to your agenda. Add a round of golf or even golf lessons at our many Kentucky state golf courses. Learn about the Civil War, Revolutionary War, Appalachian living, Kentucky folklore and many other events that helped form our nation at one of our park’s museums or interpretive centers. This guide offers a comprehensive listing of the Kentucky State Parks meeting facilities. For availability or a current description of facilities and services, please call the individual park.
