Three for the price of one

The Narrows Recreation Area is off Ky 31E outside Glasgow, Ky.

This is Redneck farm country at its best. Surprisingly I saw no signs for mud bogs though there were plenty of tractors and corn.

The Narrows are located on Barren River Lake. The area offers a Boatramp with day use area including a large pavilion, playground, single picnic sites, restroom and nature trail. Directly below the parking area is a large marina.

Co-located is The Narrows Campground. A mid-size , two loop area with beach, all electric sites and sand volleyball court.

A loop has mostly shaded sites, the outer loop has more space between sites. A loop sites do not have direct water access but you can walk down to the beach.

B loop has several sites that have direct water access and you can "park" your boat nearby. Many of the sites are not level so bring your blocks.
