You don't have to be a seasoned spelunker to see some serious cavern - steer for Mammoth Cave National Park, a cave system that shelters several hundred miles of subterranean tunnels, some of which can be seen on a guided tour.
Bordering TVA's Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area in the rolling hills of southwest Kentucky and north central Tennessee, Lake Barkley offers waterfowl hunting, great boating and fishing, nature trails, a national battlefield, and a national waterfowl refuge. In fact there's so much to this lake that a lot of people end up getting a houseboat rental and spending several days taking it all in. If that's not enough, Lake Barkley is connected by canal to Kentucky Lake.
If you've never taken a houseboat vacation before, you don't know what you're missing. Houseboating is a fun and easy way to explore the unique waters of North America. We pride ourselves on our commitment to working with our customers to help make their trip the best it can be.
