The long hike in to Indian Kitchen on Lusk Creek is well worth it. A beautiful swimming hole, with a sandstone bluff hovering over it, awaits you.

Paducah has a beautiful old down town and lower town arts district. A great place to grab a bite to eat, see a show, visit a brewery, catch some live music, and more. The old downtown of Paducah is a wonderful daytrip to take. Yes, it's a drive. But, it's unparalleled in the area for being a true foodie town, art scene, and music haven. Try Freight House, Cynthia's, Max's Brick Oven, Grill 211, Barrel and Bond, Foxbriar and others, in old downtown (you can even stroll with a cocktail from downtown bars)...or journey to midtown for Mellow Mushroom and Dry Ground Brewing and Piper's Tea and Coffee in the old Coke Plant, which is a marvel unto itself. There are tons of art galleries, a world class quilt museum that's really worth seeing, Maiden Alley Cinema, Carson Center, and so much more to see and do!
