The pool was amazing. Super clean everywhere! The lifeguards were very nice and helpful and supplied a baby floaty for me. Definitely worth the drive.

I visited this place with some friends a couple weeks ago and had a great experience! Staff was very friendly in helping find a lost item, and the campus, both inside and outside, were very clean and overall pleasant. Would recommend for an afternoon in the pool!

Love the pool! Very clean, Enjoyed it until the lifeguard decided to blast the music! Do not go there for the music! Go to Enjoy the pool. How could you hear someone in trouble?

POOL IS CLOSED. Sad to see it shuttered on a beautiful Saturday! Appears to have dirt and algae growing in middle of pool and looks unsanitary. I have seen other pools that have staffing issues at least be open on Saturday and Sunday. This pool being closed leaves many children and families with no where to swim in the community for people who are on a budget and cannot afford a membership to a private facility. This is a Kentucky State Park and they even have EP Tom Sawyer foundation. Please please reopen the pool so kids and adults have a place to swim!!
