Kuttawa, Kentucky, is an oasis in the middle of a busy world. Established in 1871, it’s quiet—with a population of roughly 700—and offers plenty of activities for any budget.

Visit and launch out into Lake Barkley and enjoy the area’s prime fishing areas. Or, pick up kayaks and paddleboards from Bare Feet Kayak and Paddleboard Rentals and spend a romantic afternoon gliding over the lake.

Take your family or your spouse on a picturesque hike along one of the town’s walking trails. Kuttawa was named after the Shawnee word for “beautiful,” and you’ll see why as you follow 2.5 miles of winding pathway up the “mountain” to get a gorgeous view of the lake and to spot some of the bald eagles that nest in the area. If that doesn’t satisfy your appetite for nature, explore the network of trails that thread through nearby Silver Cliff park. Take some time to hunt nearby areas’ wide variety of wildlife and sleep under the trees in local campgrounds.
