Murray, the county seat, is a thriving town just a short drive from the lake. While known for its vibrant community and Murray State University, it also serves as a gateway to Kentucky Lake. Boaters and outdoor enthusiasts can launch from Kenlake State Resort Park, which offers a full-service marina, lodging, and scenic trails.
