With unique experiences and year-round lodging, you have everything you need for a winter weekend getaway to Kentucky Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Birding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kentucky Lake is home to one of the country\u2019s premier places to see Bald Eagles and other species of birds. With over 2,300 miles of undeveloped shoreline, bare trees, and ample food supply, bald eagles flock to Kentucky Lake every winter to nest and catch fish. There are an estimated 100 Bald Eagles that make Kentucky Lake their home every January and February, so bring your binoculars and keep your eye out for the chance to see one. Plus, see wintering ducks and nesting turkeys and visit the dams in the winter for rare gull sightings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t know where to look? Sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cqriverside.com\/eagle-watch-cruises\">Captain\u2019s Quarters Eagle Cruises <\/a>on Kentucky Lake. They cruise in January and February. Reservations are made by the State Parks Department, not Captain&#8217;s Quarters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other cruises include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Kenlake Marina with the Friends of LBL on January 19 \u2013 21<\/li><li>Lake Barkley Marina on January 25 \u2013 27<\/li><li>Kenlake Marina on February 1 \u2013 3<\/li><li>Kenlake Marina with the Friends of LBL on February 14 (for a special Valentine\u2019s Day Cruise)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fishing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fishing at Kentucky Lake is a popular activity enjoyed by most, no matter what time of year. <a href=\"https:\/\/dev2.rezstudio.com\/lighthouselanding\/our-blog\/a-guide-to-winter-fishing-at-kentucky-lake\/\">Fishing in the winter <\/a>creates a unique chance for solitude and new places to cast in a line. Good locations for winter fishing at Kentucky Lake include creek channel banks with deep water access. Rocky banks will tend to hold the heat longer, closer to the shoreline during the winter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Visit the Elk &amp; Bison Prairie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure, a visit to the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev2.rezstudio.com\/lighthouselanding\/our-blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-visiting-the-elk-and-bison-prairie\/\">Elk &amp; Bison Prairie<\/a> any time of year is wonderful, but it is particularly unique in the winter. See where both elk and bison roam free amongst an expansive native grassland habitat. See them more clearly with the bare winter landscape that increases your chances of spotting wildlife. Visitors can observe from their car via a 3.5-mile paved loop road. The area is open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week. The admission is $5 a vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stay at Lighthouse Landing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complete your winter weekend getaway to Kentucky Lake with a stay at Lighthouse Landing.
