Governor Beshear announced last week that most state resort parks, recreational parks, lodges and cabins will open for normal business hours beginning June 1. Natural Bridge and Cumberland Falls State Resort Parks will also reopen on June 1.
Guests can begin making reservations beginning today at parks.ky.gov .
Some parks that were designated to provide temporary housing for low-acuity COVID-19 patients will not reopen yet. They include Lake Barkley State Resort Park and three others: Lake Cumberland State Resort Park, Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park, and Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park.
The Kentucky Horse Park, Otter Creek and state park campgrounds will open on June 11 to self-contained campers and RVs in accordance with Beshear's new camping guidelines. Fishing tournaments may resume on June 1 with new guidelines.
Park guests will be required to follow social distancing and public health guidelines.
