Jackson State Park

A day trip to Jackson State Park on the eastern plains was the location for our summer adventure. We had contemplated Carter Lake just north of Louisville, but we read it can be very busy and didn’t want to risk not being able to get in. 

Jackson Lake is about an hour and fifteen minutes from our house and we had no trouble getting in or finding a parking spot. 

The swim beach was busy, but we we found a great spot to launch our paddle boards and enjoyed a couple of hours on the water. Thanks to a couple extra paddle boards snagged from the Wrights, all four of us were able to get out on the water.
