Grand Rivers
Kentucky
Grand Rivers is a wonderfully quaint walking community nestled between the shores of the twin giant Lakes, Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. We have top notch marina resorts on each lake and we are lucky enough to be just north of the only waterway that joins these two behemoth bodies of water which makes our tiny town a peninsula. To emphasize the point, we have the finest sailing and boating waters between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico (minus the horrific winters and the horrifying hurricanes). Boaters have access to the world through the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico and The St. Lawrence Seaway to the Atlantic Ocean.
If you love the water way of life, you should plan a trip to Grand Rivers today! Our 350 residents welcome you. If you lived here, literally in your back yard you'd find over 250,000 acres of placid lakes and about 3,000 miles of shoreline to explore, scant population so you don't have to fight crowds and a federal recreation area comprising 180,000 acres dedicated to camping, hiking, biking, environmental education and even hunting (in season). We all love living here -- and some of us enjoy visiting the city occasionally: easy interstate highway access to Nashville, Memphis, Evansville, St. Louis, Louisville and even Chicago and Atlanta if you don't mind driving a little further. If you'd like to experience life awash in peace and tranquility, you'd enjoy it here too.
Come enjoy a day, a weekend, a week or a highly rewarding life here in the safety, security and pleasant environment of our heartland. Our quaint village, within a days' drive of over half the country's population, offers everything a family or a couple or a group of friends could ask for in a get-a-way. You can avoid the hassle of too much road weariness or airport frustration. Here in our little hamlet, we have a plethora of activities in which to partake. Rent a ski boat or take a sailing class. Take the kids fishing or turn them loose to explore in the safety of a bygone way of life. We offer them game rooms, miniature golf and a petting farm. We have a theater with professional live entertainment that far exceeds expectations for such a small community -- the whole family enjoys this together, of course. We have great fishing for the fellas and interesting shops and boutiques for the ladies. A wide variety of dining experiences (for a town of 350 anyway) all hope to satisfy you to the brim.
In case there's any doubt left, let me tell you unequivocably that Grand Rivers (the tiny burg in which you'll find our office) is truly one of the best little communities in the country for unmatched quality of life. Our progressive, active and positive mayor and city council working in conjuction with our Economic Development Foundation, Tourism Commission and Chamber of Commerce are little by little helping Grand Rivers achieve its highest potential as a place to live as well as a place to visit.. We invite responsible, professional and kind hearted souls to join our quest for excellence on this little peninsula.
