Parks Ridge Area Information

Lake Cumberland is one of the largest man-made bodies of water east of the Mississippi River. A vacationer's paradise, Lake Cumberland covers over 63,000 acres. Its waters touch over 1,255 miles of shoreline with an average depth of 90 feet.

Russell County can certainly introduce you to all Lake Cumberland has to offer. There are four commercial marinas; boat rentals from fishing boats to state of the art houseboats; lakeside restaurants; motels; Lake Cumberland State Resort Park; and much, much more.
 
Guests to Lake Cumberland can take a scenic horseback ride, feed the trout at the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery or catch a show at the historic Star Theater, a 1950's vintage movie theater with seasonal plays, musical productions, and the annual performance of "The Nutcracker."
 
Russell County is home to two 18 hole golf courses: The Links Public Golf Course and Lakewood Country Club.
 
For the fishing enthusiast we offer trophy size stripers and hold state records for brown and rainbow trout and walleye.

 
For antique and craft lovers, we have several shops to fascinate you in Russell Springs and Jamestown. Visit an old fashioned soda shop in Russell Springs or Jamestown to refresh while shopping.

Russell County hosts festivals and events, drawing thousands of visitors and featuring a variety of displays, tournaments, foods, and more. Lakefest gets things started with a bang Fourth of July weekend! Russell County Fair in late July is considered by many to be the biggest and best county fair in the state. For bargain hunters, the 450-mile U.S. Hwy. 127 Outdoor Sale goes through the county in August; The Harvest Festival in the fall and Lake Cumberland State Park's annual New Years Eve Dinner and Dance closes our year with a flourish.
 
If you like watching birds, viewing deer, and other wildlife, you may want to take the bike/walking trail at Kendall Recreation Area. The trail winds past a trout stream, over a 60 - ft. bridge and into The Pines Wildlife Management Area. While there, be sure to visit the Information Center at Wolf Creek Dam and the powerhouse.

Enjoy all these activities from your lake home at Parks Ridge!
