We counted for you, and Green River Lake has a whopping 18 different activities you can partake in on these superb grounds. Seriously, the question here is more what can you NOT do? Play a friendly game of putt-putt golf against your friends, swim and fish around the lake, or hang out on the beautiful piers. Whether jet skiing, boating, or kayaking is more your thing, you'll be able to float those waters in whichever way strikes your fancy. Grill up the fresh food you've bought at the nearby store or put dinner on pause to check out some of the historic sites nearby. With spelunking and hunting opportunities not far away, we don't think your heart could wish for anything more on such a badass vacation.

If you're a boater or fisher, Nolin Lake Park is definitely the place for you. Use your trustiest bait and cast a line for crappie, catfish, or walleye, which are abundant in the azure lake waters. Boaters will be happy to use a conveniently placed launch, and a sandy beach awaits swimmers and people gettin' on their tan on alike. Nine miles of biking trails are the perfect way to explore the shaded paths, and a shorter hiking trail offers the sight of a cascading waterfall. Keep an eye out for a variety of birds from great blue herons to wild turkeys. If you're lucky, you may even catch sight of the elusive and beautiful bald eagle. We can salute to that.

My wife, dog, and I loved this campsite. There was a lot of space and 2 campsites to choose from. Our dog did not have to be on leash and got to explore the area as well. Aaron answered any question we had in a timely manner and gave us some insight on the land before we arrived. We will be keeping this spot in mind for future camping trips.

If you want to get away in a little corner of outdoors this is the place to go. I grew up in the country but we didn’t have a lake right there like you do here. I loved it, the stars at night, the water right next to you, we had zero mosquito bites, and beautiful surroundings. The only downside was the heat but what do you expect when you camp in July 😂. We had a blast and I definitely recommend camping here!
