Garfield
is a small unincorporated town located in Breckinridge County in northwestern Kentucky. It's about 50 miles west of the city of Louisville. Breckinridge County is a great place for those looking to get away from it all - the whole county has a population of just over 20,000. It's home to Rough River Dam State Park. Garfield is near the dam that created the 4,860-acre lake, which offers some of the best opportunities for fishing and water sports in the state. Rough River Lake marina has 121 open slips, 29 open houseboat slips, 48 covered slips, a launching ramp, and rental fishing boats and pontoon boats. The marina is open May to October. Species of fish in the lake include largemouth, white and Kentucky bass, bluegill, catfish, crappie and rough fish. For those who enjoy hiking, a one-mile nature trail follows the shoreline of the lake. Attractions in and around Garfield include the historic Holt Museum, Cloverport Community Museum, and the restored Irvington Railroad Station depot/museum. The latter contains railroad memorabilia and historical photographs of the community.

South-Central Indiana , along the Ohio River, has a four-season, humid continental climate. This region is classified as the Southern Plains and Lowlands of Indiana. This is the hilliest part of the state. Winters are cold, sometimes bitterly so. The transition from cold to hot temps can produce unsettling spring weather with thunderstorms and tornadoes. Oppressive humidity and high temperatures arrive in summer. Autumn is often the most pleasant time of the year with lower humidity than the other seasons, and mostly sunny skies. March is usually the wettest month of the year and September is the driest. Snowfall is much less along the Ohio River than in the northern part of Indiana, near Lake Michigan.
