About
Grayson Lake State Park preserves 1,512 acres of rugged northeastern Kentucky terrain carved by sheer sandstone canyons that once served as camping grounds for the Shawnee and Cherokee peoples. The campground sits amid this dramatic landscape, offering 69 standard electric sites with water and electric hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables. Modern bathhouses with flush toilets and showers, laundry facilities, and a dump station make extended stays comfortable. The park provides exceptional recreation opportunities. Grayson Lake's 40 miles of shoreline support excellent fishing for bass, crappie, and catfish, with a marina located four miles north of the campground offering boat rentals and supplies. Hikers can explore trails ranging from easy to moderate difficulty through the forested canyons. The Hidden Cove Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course carved into the cliffs, is one of the most scenic in the state. Additional amenities include basketball and volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, and playground equipment.
Directions
From I-64, take exit 172 and travel 12 miles south on Highway 7. The park entrance is located at 314 Grayson Lake Park Road, Olive Hill, KY 41164.
