Nolin Lake State Park Tours

Photo by Randy Lawrence


Nolin Lake State Park is a lovely place to enjoy some time out from the fast pace of daily life. Check if any water activities are on offer here, or simply soak up the peaceful ambiance.

Some attractions cost a small fortune to visit, but not this body of water. It's free, which means you'll have more money to spend on other adventures in and around Edmonson County. We recommend making your way to Nolin River Lake when you've finished at Nolin Lake State Park.
