Green River Tailwater Recreation Area
We have driven over to Green River Lake several times in the past few years but this weekend we spent a few minutes walking around the spillway. Thanks to the recent rains in Kentucky, the water was raging and the spray high.
You can park and walk over to the spillway and enjoy the massive spray. We love waterfalls, but can’t always get out to our favorite waterfall hikes. That’s why we love finding places like this when we take a road trip.
You can walk around and enjoy the view of the spillway from all sides and even drive around to the top and look over.
There are restrooms available at the spillway as well as picnic areas and even a playground down by the lake.
Take some time out of your busy life today and get outside with family! Make some memories! Take a few pictures and remember the days spent away from life’s crazy schedules.
