If you're looking for a nice weekend getaway for cheap, consider taking a short trip to Lake Cumberland State Park in Jamestown, KY. It's a short and scenic 2 1/2 hour drive from Louisville.

| Sunrise from my bedroom patio |
As college students, we love coming here for the summer, rent a camp site for cheap and spend a Saturday on the Lake. As an adult, I've enjoyed staying at one of the cabins near Lure Lodge, waking up every morning to a spectacular view of the sunrise on the lake. For around $70/night, a very nice room with 2 queen beds can easily sleep up to 4 people. The rooms are clean and modern and all have a view of the lake. The walls are thin and you can hear your neighbor easily but it didn't bother me too much.

| View from the Lodge restaurant |
Dinning option is limited as you're miles away from the nearest town. The most convenient option is the Lodge restaurant. Steps away from Lure Lodge, it offers decent meals for a reasonable price. The best feature is the breath taking view of the take, so grab a table towards the back of the restaurant.
What to do:
- Hike: Check short and long hikes.
- Horse Back Riding: They have guided trail guides leaving on the hour from Memorial to Labor Day
- Boating & Swimming: If you got a big group, rent one of the pontoons for the day and take it out for a spin on the lake. Pack food for a picnic right on the waters. Most comes with a slide for a full day of swimming and innocent fun.
