Dogs are allowed! Such a minor detail but we love that. The tree, twig people was such a unique feature to the park. We went over the Labor Day weekend and it was nice. Not jam packed with people. The beach was very small, no glass or alcohol allowed. Was a fun day trip overall.
I've never been here..I live in Cave City. My route took me down many beautiful back roads. Got to get out n help a turtle across the street and slam on brakes for a whole bunch of turkey. Then I got to the park..Gorgeous, wish I'd have had company, I would have explored more. Worth taking the kids! Park and the wood trolls are great! Nice n quiet. The beach is a little drive from campground, but it's a beautiful lake and so worth it.
Love this campground! It’s firmly in my top 3. Very quiet setting, clean, easy to get into, great cell service with Verizon, level site, hiking wasn’t too difficult, very close to the lake, beautiful lake to kayak. Highly recommend a stay here
My 1st time going to Lake Malone State Park. This was a great day trip and getting to see The Twigs family was a real treat! Beautiful scenery, peaceful, clean park. Enjoyed the day there, very nice!
Just moved to Greenville, so far this is the best place to adventure in nature! The Twigs are amazing, the hike is easy and the lake is soooo beautiful
I would give it a 5 but...if you don't mind lots of people it's a 5. If you're like me and don't like a lot of people this is not the place for you. It is absolutely beautiful though.
Ky state park with a nice beach swimming access. They have carvings throughout the park called Big Twigs.
You must see the Big Twigs, which is absolutely free. There are some signs up for Bobber and Oakley but not a sign easily seen for Happy.
Happy is located in wooded area behind playground area at campground. Easily access to all three. However, Happy is a little walk though. The trail to Happy may not be suitable for a stroller because it was a little muddy when we went and is little rough for stroller access. But definitely recommend going to park to see Big Twigs.
