If you are looking for a great place to play golf that also offers good family activities you should consider the General Burnside Island State Park. The park is located on an island in Lake Cumberland and offers one of Kentucky’s most scenic golf courses as well as a host of lake-side water-sports. The island has a very scenic 94-site campground which is open from April to October; the campsites feature hook-ups and there are shower rooms and restrooms on site. You can have hours of fun on Lake Cumberland – if you don’t have your own boat you can hire one at the marina – fishing boats, ski-boats, pontoons and even houseboats are available.
