Lake Malone is 22 miles south of Central City,from the Western Kentucky Parkway exit at Central City and take US 431 to KY 973 to the park.From Greenville KY take 181 south to Hwy 973 go 5 miles to park.
Ky state park with a nice beach swimming access. They have carvings throughout the park called Big Twigs.
You must see the Big Twigs, which is absolutely free. There are some signs up for Bobber and Oakley but not a sign easily seen for Happy.
Happy is located in wooded area behind playground area at campground. Easily access to all three. However, Happy is a little walk though. The trail to Happy may not be suitable for a stroller because it was a little muddy when we went and is little rough for stroller access. But definitely recommend going to park to see Big Twigs.
Dogs are allowed! Such a minor detail but we love that. The tree, twig people was such a unique feature to the park. We went over the Labor Day weekend and it was nice. Not jam packed with people. The beach was very small, no glass or alcohol allowed. Was a fun day trip overall.
My 1st time going to Lake Malone State Park. This was a great day trip and getting to see The Twigs family was a real treat! Beautiful scenery, peaceful, clean park. Enjoyed the day there, very nice!
