Kentucky Lake Marina & Campground Upgrades

The renovation and rejuvenation of Cane Creek continues…

As the saying goes ‘time flies by when you are having fun!’… And it has certainly been fun for us to continue to improve and grow Cane Creek facilities since new owners took over the site in Fall 2017. We’re never complacent, and always looking to improve, but we are proud to reflect on how far the facility has come over that period of time. Here are a few highlighted renovations and enhancements so far at our Kentucky Lake Marina and Campground:

Fall 2017

• Renovation of on-site Manager’s Residence
• Enhanced all campground access roads with fresh gravel
• Bathhouse restoration– new roof, fresh paint, new fixtures

Spring 2018

• Dock Repairs– added new flotation and refurbished all docks
• Campground store interior upgraded, including finishing in reclaimed barn wood, and opened for customers
• Site reopened with 25 renovated campsites

Fall 2018
