Somerset

What better way to spend time with friends and family than by renting a houseboat? Kentucky residents enjoy houseboating and frequently visit Lake Cumberland, which is located in the small town of Somerset. Travelers can rent boats of varying sizes to fit most budgets for their water-based vacation. Somerset, a charming small town in Pulaski County, has a population of slightly more than 10,000 people. This place, on the other hand, packs a powerful punch, with plenty to offer both locals and visitors. SomerSplash Waterpark, which attracts visitors from all over the region, is one of its most well-known attractions.

Somerset is also known as Kentucky's "Car Cruise Capital", and you can witness this event for yourself on select nights from April to October. Each month, downtown transforms into an outdoor car show with a different theme. Amon's Sugar Shack must be visited while visiting all of these fun places around town. This family-owned local favorite not only serves incredible sweets, but also delicious comfort food in a nostalgic setting. There are a number of parks in Somerset and the surrounding area. These vary in size and features, but they will keep you entertained while you are outside. Elgie Woods Piano Park, pictured below, is possibly the most unique and offers live music all year.
