How to get to Green River Lake State Park
The park sits just south of Campbellsville, Kentucky, off KY Highway 55, about 85 miles southeast of Louisville (roughly 1 hour 40 minutes) and about 80 miles southwest of Lexington (around 1 hour 30 minutes). Bowling Green is about 70 miles west, or a little over an hour by RV. Access roads are paved two-lane state highways with rolling terrain and a few moderate grades, so drivers should plan for slower speeds on hills, but there are no major tunnels or severe mountain passes to worry about. For fly-and-rent trips, Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) is the most convenient major airport, with Lexington Blue Grass Airport (LEX) and Nashville International (BNA) as alternates.
