Episode 23:  Welcome to Lake Life with Molley and Chad! In today’s episode, our friends Holly and Josh join us to discuss Green River Lake in Kentucky.  Let’s learn more about their lake adventures.

Have fun on the lake

The lake is a great place to have fun and make memories. Whether you’re fishing, tubing, skiing, or just hanging out with friends and family, there’s something for everyone. Green River Lake is an 8,200 acre lake with three marinas.  It’s known for its fishing tournaments and its sense of community. People are friendly and welcoming and there’s always someone to hang out with. The most popular gathering spot is Butler Creek, but there’s also a cove called Mount Washington Cove that people like to hide away in. 

Holly and Josh have a fishing boat/pontoon, a Bayliner ski boat and a 28-foot from Cruiser Yachts. On average weekends, they’ll go out and get some sun, ski tube with the kids, or go to Party Cove and listen to music and drink. If the kids aren’t with them, they’ll just float and relax, and then come back and grill out, play cards and play games. 

Make memories on the lake

For those who don’t own a boat, there are plenty of rental options. You can rent a pontoon, a ski boat, or even a yacht. No matter what you choose, you’ll be able to explore the lake and have a great time. For those with kids, the state park campground has a beach where they can swim and play. And if you’re looking for a more adventurous experience, you can join a fishing tournament or take part in a raft-up. 

Molley talks about her first memory at Green River Lake.  She and her brother encountered a guy fishing, but forgot to ask what he was using that day.  Chad’s family typically camped and then rented boats at Green River.  They talk a little about dealing with inexperienced jet ski operators.

Josh shares his memories about his parents starting out at Green River Lake.  Holly describes how her kids know what each of the marinas and docks feature. 

If They Won the Lottery What Boat Would They Buy?

Holly would get a seafoam green, center-console Scout.  Josh would choose a wake boat and a houseboat. 

What Are Some of Your Favorite Lakes?

Holly grew up going to Cumberland and Dale Hollow and remains partial to both.  She’s heard nice things about Norris Lake.  It’s a great mix of scenery and things to do.  She’s also been to Rough River.  Josh has been to Taylorsville, Nolin, Barren, Cumberland, Dale Hollow and Green River Lake. 

Explore Different Lakes

Exploring different lakes can be an exciting and rewarding experience. It can be an opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime and to experience a variety of different cultures and scenery. From the calm and peaceful waters of Green River Lake to the wild and windy waters of Cumberland, there are plenty of lakes to explore. Green River Lake is a great place to start. It’s perfect for fishing, and it’s easy to navigate. The lake is wide enough that you don’t have to worry about getting lost, and it’s small enough that you can cover the entire lake in just a half tank of gas. There are plenty of cabins to rent and plenty of social activities to participate in. 

Cumberland is a great lake to explore too. It’s much bigger than Green River, and it can get very windy. But when the wind comes across the main channel, it can be like the ocean, with three-foot whitecaps. This can make for a rough ride, so it’s important to be careful. The lake is also home to some of the best bass fishing in the country. Dale Hollow is another great lake to explore. It’s a smaller lake, but it’s still a great place to fish and it’s a great place to relax. 

Exploring different lakes can be an amazing experience. You get to experience different cultures, different scenery, and different activities. You get to make lifelong memories and friendships, and you get to see what each lake has to offer. If you’re looking for an adventure, make sure to explore different lakes. 

Enjoy Time on the Lake

Molley talks about how coming home to their own lake is just as special. After visiting different places, you get to come back to the familiarity of your home lake. You know the area, the people, and the activities you can do. You also get to make new memories with the people you love and care about. When you’re driving to a new lake, it can be a bit of a challenge. You may not know the area and you may not know where you’re going. Chad comments about how navigating a new lake may require looking at your phone trying to figure out where you are. But, when you’ve been going to the same lake for years, you know the area and you know how to get back.  

When you’re on the way to the lake, you may have a certain spot that you look forward to. For some, it’s the water tower, for others, it’s the rooster farm. For others, it’s the movie playing on the DVD player. These little things can make a big difference when you’re on the way to the lake. 

Favorite Memories

When you’ve been to the lake for years, you may have a favorite memory. Holly describes how it was when a friend asked him to shave a “K” for his girlfriend’s name on his back. The same guy tried to do tricks on the slide and ended up hitting his head. Chad talks about the time his father-in-law helped him gain the respect of his son by whipping him around on the tube. Molley talks about how much she enjoys seeing the lake through the eyes of someone who’s never been on the lake.  These memories are all enjoyable, but it’s important to remember that safety comes first.  

One Piece of Advice for a New Boater

For Holly, it’s before you get out on the lake, it’s important to make sure you read the manual. Whether you’re in a boat, a pontoon, or a tube, it’s important to make sure you know the safety protocols. The last thing you want is for something to go wrong and for someone to get hurt. 

Josh suggest that you put the plug in, as well as a spare set of keys in case something goes wrong. Overall, it’s important to remember that reading the manual before boating is essential. It’s important to make sure you know the safety protocols and that you have the necessary supplies. Boating can be an amazing experience, but safety always comes first. 

Romantic Date Night on Boat

Holly reminds Josh about a romantic date night on their boat. Just imagine, you and your partner out on the lake, the stars shining above, and the cool night air on your skin. It’s a truly magical experience. Josh had the perfect plan. He brought a foam mattress to lay on, so they could look up at the stars. He also brought Prosecco and a charcuterie board for them to enjoy. 

If you’re looking for a romantic date night, a boat is the perfect place. You can take in the beauty of nature while spending quality time with your partner. It’s a great way to connect and create memories.
