Eddyville Vacation Rentals, Hotels, Weather, Map and Attractions

Eddyville is a small historic town located in Lyon County in southwestern Kentucky. The population is approximately 2,500. Eddyville, which is the county seat, is known for being home to the Kentucky State Penitentiary, although the prison is actually located 3 miles south of town. The massive stone prison was built in 1889 and has the appearance of a castle-like structure. Some call it "The Castle of the Cumberlands" and for that reason, it's become somewhat of a tourist attraction. Eddyville, as well as Lyon County, is located on the banks of Lake Barkley. When the decision was made to impound the Cumberland River to form Lake Barkley, the old towns of Eddyville and Kuttawa had to be relocated. At times during the winter when the lake level is down, you can actually see some of the streets, sidewalks and foundations of the old city. Lake Barkley offers lots of recreational activities for visitors, but it's especially popular for boating, fishing and camping. Other attractions in Eddyville include the Lyon County Historical Museum and Venture River Waterpark. Lyon County is also home to a beautiful golf course at Mineral Mounds State Park, and several hiking trails. One of the most popular is the Anderson Hiking Trail, which is located in Old Kuttawa and is a National Recreation Trail. This trail features 40 different species of trees and is home to Kentucky's largest Black Oak tree.
