Mineral Mound State Park

About

This peaceful setting, just south of Eddyville, Kentucky, on the shores of Lake Barkley is historically linked to the author F. Scott Fitzgerald. The featured property was once the farm of Willis B. Machen, grandfather of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. It’s not hard to imagine the serene, Gatsby-style era from this park, with idyllic days of playing golf and cruising the lake. Launch your boat into Lake Barkley from the Mineral Mound Launching Ramp (open year-round) or enjoy a picnic in the pleasant surroundings of the Mineral Mound picnic area. Stock up on supplies, like beer and snacks at the Mineral Mound Pro Shop. Call at 270-388-3673 for tee times, cart fees, course conditions, tournaments and Golf Trail Card Pass.
