We went to this park for the first time on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. This is a beautiful, well-maintained park. There is a lot to do, from hiking, tennis, golf, fishing, boating, and camping. The museum is also nice. We were allowed to use the fishing poles for free, just had to buy the bait. The paddle boat and canoe rentals were very reasonably priced. Also, cabin rentals are available. The kids had a great time, we will definitely be returning.
Audubon Park has a little bit of everything for most outdoorist. From camping, fishing, bird watching, walking trails, to golf. The camping has rv hook ups and primitive camp sites. Also located on the campgrounds is a facility with his & her restrooms & multiple showers.
Spent the day here after getting married. A clean beautiful park. Can't wait to rent a cabin. They looked very nice. The lake was beautiful too
I knew this was a CCC park and the campground was consistent with that. We camp in a 26 foot class C so we rarely use the showers, etc. As state parks go there was less than normal space per site. Also there was a lot of road noise. Tight turns, some sites were almost impossible to back in to. But the pluses were an affordable price and a reliable reservation available through ReserveAmerica.
My family and I (two small kids) went for a hike in Audubon State Park this past summer. The lady in the visitor center was very helpful when we were deciding which hike to take-we used a stroller for part of it. It was not at all crowded (just saw a couple other people), and the trails were well-maintained. We will be back!
We adore Audubon. My family has been going there since I was a child. The museum has a small fee, which is well worth the cost if you're even remotely interested in: birds, nature, history, or science. They have several well marked hiking trails, and in the summer they have manual paddle and row boats guests can rent extremely cheap to putter around the small lake. There used to be many geese and ducks but we haven't seen them for several years. Audubon is preserved as a natural habitat so you will see a variety of wild life, birds, flowers, and plant/tree species. In the winter you can see a whike different side to the forest, and if properly clothed you can have an envigorating experience still.
Audubon is great for the hiker who enjoys the challenge of traversing roots and hills and might be planning for a challenge in the Smokies. Audubon is great for the walker who likes to stay on the blacktop and be close to nature. Or the mom with a stroller and kids getting exercise as a family. Audubon museum is great for those who appreciate art and learning about Audubon. And without paying a museum entrance fee, check out the current show in the art gallery. Sounds like a fun date complete with picnic by the lake! Audubon is great for the one searching for that perfect gift for the nature-lover. Check out the museum store for kids gifts, local souvenirs, crafts, nature books, and Audubon prints! Audubon is great for the family reunion held a shelter with playground, tennis courts, paddle boats,and fishing available. Audubon is great for the golfer who wants to try one of most challenging park courses in Ky. And don't forget, Audubon is great for the camper! Don't have a tent or RV? Rent a cottage! No I don't work for Audubon, I just appreciate all it has to offer!!
This park is very tranquil with several trails where you can view the wildlife. There is a camp ground on the site with primitive and RV camping. Water and electricity are available at some plots with laundry and bathroom facilities. The museum is great and they offer week long children's camps for a modest fee. The scenic lake offers paddle boats and canoeing and is stocked with a variety of panfish and bass.
This is a nice little park ,it has several small cabins as well as camping, the John James Audubon museum is worth your time. There is a small lake on site for fishing also a golf coarse and plenty of hiking trails.
