About two hours west of Lebanon, Paris Landing State Park is a hidden gem where families—and their furry companions—can reconnect with nature and each other. Nestled on the scenic shores of Kentucky Lake, this peaceful retreat offers a perfect blend of outdoor fun, wide-open spaces, and relaxed lakeside charm.
For kids, there’s no shortage of adventure—playgrounds, nature trails, fishing spots, and endless room to roam. Four-legged family members are welcome too, with leashed pets allowed on most trails and around the park, making it easy to include everyone in the weekend getaway.
Spend the day paddling, hiking, or picnicking under the trees. Then settle in at the newly renovated Paris Landing Lodge or nearby pet-friendly cabins and campsites. With beautiful lake views and easy access to trails and shoreline, it’s an ideal base for rest, or more exploring.
Whether you're tossing a frisbee, teaching your kids to skip rocks, or watching your dog splash at the water's edge, Paris Landing feels like the kind of place where memories just happen naturally. Sometimes, the best family adventures are the ones where time slows down and everyone gets to be a kid again.
