Other options
There is no
campground at the Park; please consult your own maps and information sources
for campgrounds in the region. For
example, Eagle’s Landing Campground is 3.3 miles away, though we have no
information to offer on its amenities or whether it will be open at that
date. Contact information: 265
State Hwy 2072, Gays Creek, KY 41745, phone: (606) 398-7071. There are other campgrounds in the area that are farther
away. There are also various
hotels in Hazard, KY, but be aware that this is more than 20 miles away.
Food
Some refreshments will be provided,
including continental breakfasts.
Meals are available for purchase at the Buckhorm Lake Park’s restaurant,
Bowlingtown Country Kitchen—refer to the park’s website for menus and
prices. Note that there are no
other restaurants nearby. Also,
the park states that we cannot bring in our own food into the restaurant and
meeting areas.
Some Park Information
The park offers a beach and bathhouse by
the lake for swimming (water conditions and weather permitting), an outdoor
swimming pool, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, a small playground, hiking,
fishing (license required), minigolf (fee), and rental pontoon boats. The park is also a good place for elk
and bird watching. See the park’s
website for more details.
Free wifi is available in the lodge
housing and meeting rooms, but not in the cottage.
Directions
Consult your maps with great care before
embarking, and be aware that cell reception (or real-time GPS contact) may at
times be extremely weak or non-existent.
Also, roads become somewhat narrow and very windy—perhaps not much fun
driving on for the first time in the dark. Coming from the north we suggest taking a route that near
the end follows KY-15 S toward Hazard, and then turning right onto KY-28 W
roughly 21.2 miles after Jackson.
Stay on KY-28 W for about 10.2 miles and then turn left onto
KY-1833. The park is then about
4.8 miles on the left. On the
other hand, if you are coming from the south on KY-15 N from Hazard you would
turn left onto KY-28 W roughly 9 miles after Hazard and then proceed as above.
