Grayson Lake State Park, State park in Olive Hill, Kentucky, US
Grayson Lake State Park encompasses 1,500 acres of water surface, surrounded by forested hills and natural rock formations along the shoreline.
The park opened in 1970 through the creation of Grayson Lake by constructing a dam on the Little Sandy River to provide recreational opportunities.
Local residents gather at the park throughout the year for community events, fishing tournaments, and outdoor educational programs about Kentucky wildlife.
The campground includes designated sites for tents and recreational vehicles, with a limit of eight people per site and specific rules for additional adults.
The park contains multiple hidden coves and narrow inlets formed by sandstone cliffs, creating natural passages for kayakers and small watercraft exploration.
