About
The marina is a friendly place. Most of the slip holders live in larger cities and come from relatively long distances away, (even Chicago), and stay the whole weekend living on their boats. In locations such as Old Hickory Lake in Nashville people come to their boats for an hour or two, take a short cruise and then go home. There is little or no social life on docks in such locations.
At Kenlake Marina boaters get together for social hours, pot luck dinners, and overnight anchorages with several boats rafted together. In the summer, you can stay in the water for hours, share stories, and learn all about the latest happenings at the marina. Sunday afternoon if the weather is not perfect you can go to the movies a short 15 miles away by a four lane road, to Murray Ky.
The Cheri Theater is one of the finest in the country. It has 6 screens, digital projectors, stadium seating in 4 of the 6 theaters, and the best popcorn you can get in any theater served by friendly Murray State college students. Best of all $20 can get seniors two seats, a small popcorn, small drink, and change left over. After the movie eat out at Jasmine, Captain D's, or Culvers. Before the movie you can shop at Lowes, Big Lots, Tractor Supply, Kroger and Walmart Supercenter.
There are lots of great marinas on Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, but many boaters make Kenlake Marina for their top choice for lake adventures and here's why! • Covered slips with 30 & 50 amp power, water, cable TV, and WiFi • Open all year • Marina restaurant, Cindy's on the Barge serving breakfast and lunch • Self serve dump station • Coin laundry in nearby Aurora • Close to many quiet coves surrounded by nature with uninhabited protected anchorages in Land Between the Lakes • Less than 215 driving miles from Nashville, Jackson, Evansville, Memphis, St. Louis, and Cape Girardeau • Hotel with cabins that can be rented for visitors or used in the winter • Swimming pool and tennis courts for use by marina slip renters • Hiking trails and archery range with 3D targets • Three lane wide boat launch ramp and both local and national fishing tournaments • Minutes away from Murray, KY with movie theater, dining and boutique shopping • Waterway access to the Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes, and the Atlantic Ocean • No hazardous underwater stumps compared to other lakes • Little trash during high water compared to other rivers • Uncrowded waters compared to the north end of Kentucky Lake • Good sailing winds in the spring and fall • Well protected harbor from winds and waves by long rock breakwater • Clean harbor water fed by a natural stream • Clean air with no dusty open quarries or coal transfer stations • We're a three-season Marina Spring, Summer, and Fall Place for Families and Friends

Nice protected area. Great restaurant on site!! Clean area!
This was our first stay here and we loved it! I decided 2 days before staying at Kenlake Marina to go there for the proximity to the Land Between the Lakes and its multiuse trails to do some mountain biking. What a treat! The staff is soooo nice and accommodating. They had room for us to dock not undercover (we’re too tall for a covered slip); the marina is very well taken care of and maintained; it’s on KY State Park lands so the surroundings are absolutely beautiful - especially during fall which is when we visited) and they have cute little cabins to rent! We took advantage of the courtesy vehicle to go to town to the post office and grocery - being sure to top off the fuel; and capped this great day of biking, errands, and then dinner at The Burger Barn right there at the marina office! Wow! We had the burger and chicken wings. Both were absolutely yummy and the chicken wings were HUGE!!! I’ve never seen anything quite like it! But ohhhh soooo delish. I could have stayed at this marina for a week no problem. We didn’t use the bathrooms or laundry so no comment there but I would assume they are just fine based on the condition the rest of the marina. So glad we stopped. You should, too! Tell them wicked Good says “hi”! 😄
Wow - Kenlake Marina was excellent! It was the first location we have had with showers/bath /laundry facilities since we started down the Mississippi River. Wish that we had planned a few more days here. Well marked entrance channel, plenty of depth, easy accessible fuel dock and plenty of maneuver room to the transient face dock. The breakwater provides great wind and wake protection. This was the first quiet night sleep that we have had since leaving the upper Illinois River. Very nice & clean bath/shower facilities. Laundry with 3 or 4 washers and dryers. Very good restaurant that serves Breakfast, Lunch and dinner. Nice state park adjacent with great walking and pet area. We will definitely be returning to Kenlake.
Sean, the harbor master and Amanda & Parker all welcomed us. The local boat community is very friendly. Fuel and transient prices are great! Their laundry facilities is one of the best I’ve used… very clean… Great bathhouse as well, all very convenient to slips. They also have a restaurant on site.
I reserved for 2 nights for my Pontoon. On the 1st night after coming back in we noticed that a big sail boat was in our spot and the guy told us that someone was in his original spot so the dock person rented MY spot out to him but we still managed to squeeze our pontoon in there and let the guy stay and use the power box. On the 2nd day, we decided to pull our boat out the water but noticed we still got charged for 2 days for a renal space. I also heard other people complaining about the same issue. It's very unorganized. They contacted me about this and apologized and said they would refund me for both nights. Which they did. I do understand how busy and crazy it was on memorial weekend and everyone was still so friendly so I still give a 4 🌟.
Outstanding facility and customer care !
Great place to stop. Very quiet and peaceful night. Excellent power,wifi, and plenty of places to walk the dogs. Bathrooms are good too if you need them. Would definitely stay again \n
Very nice quiet marina. Clean facilities, friendly and very helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.
Love Kenlake Marina! Beautiful location with helpful, friendly staff. We spent two nights in their off season (after Labor Day) so their onsite restaurant was closed but we used their loaner vehicle for a trip into town for lunch. They have power, water, fuel, pump out, showers, etc. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful marina.
Definitely won’t be back. The owner was extremely rude to my family.
NEVER AGAIN!!! My family had a great time out on the lake today. However, if you’re in need of a boat rental please look elsewhere. The owner was completely out of line with his attitude towards our family. His staff told us what speed we should be going when returning the boat back to the dock, he came out on the dock screaming at us. We had 12 of us including an 8 month old baby and 3 boys under 18. He made everyone completely uncomfortable and on edge. If you do decide to rent anything from him, be sure to take pictures of anything that belongs to them otherwise they can say you caused damages that were already there and charge you more! We rented a jet ski and a pontoon, the staff told us the jet ski was cracked and had repairs/patched and that is was “about out of commission” when we returned the “owner” told us we had to of hit something and cracked it. Also said we “scratched” the propeller. Man you rent boats, you’re going to charge $75 for scratches!!?? And then charge us for repairs to a jet ski that was already cracked.Other than the owner the rest of the staff were very helping and nice.
For 2 years I have tried to make a reservation at Ken Lake. They never respond to Dockwa; they never respond to emails; they never respond to phone calls. I would love to reserve a space, but I am done trying to deal with these people. Apparently they don't need the business, but I think they are jerks.
There are no showers, restrooms or laundry facilities. There website states that they are building them in 2017. it is now october of 2018 and they still have not built them. Staff was friendly.
The staff was exceptional and made us feel very welcome during our entire stay. The restaurant was handy and we ate there multiple times. It will be even better when showers/bathhouse are completed. The other resident slip holders are all so very nice as well. Such a great Marina community.
I nice, clean facility with a friendly owner and staff. No showers or laundry, but a good restaurant in season. Beautiful park setting right next to Kenlake State Park Lodge which has great food in the restaurant and clean rooms. This is a nice stop off about halfway down Kentucky Lake from the Dam on the way south to Paris Landing Marina in Tennessee.
