This Kentucky Beach Finally Open Six Years After Being Shutdown For Natural Causes

When you think of beaches you most likely think of Florida or the coast right?!  Well, Kentucky has some pretty nice beach-like parks and one of them opened this summer after a six-year absence.

FINALLY OPEN

I remember going to Vastwood Park as a kid.  My mom would take me and my brother swimming in the summer because it was cheap and a whole lot of fun.  When my older boys were little I took them and they loved it.  In 2015 the beach closed because of a few reasons a massive amount of weeds growing at the bottom of the lake and a low attendance of swimmers over the summer.  They were finally able to open the lake after they treated the problem and allowed the lake to clear back up.  A lot of people were just ready to get back out into the open after the pandemic and the Vastwood opening made it even better.

ONLY OPEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME FOR NOW

Angel here and I spoke with a Park employee Tuesday afternoon that told me the beach hours of operation have been shortened for the summer.

Here are their hours according to the Vastwood Park Facebook page:
