Due to the historical significance, unique location, and
other attractions, the next destination for family vacations can be the City of
Paducah in Kentucky. But this city may not be very attractive for very young
kids who have already been exposed to more sophisticated thrill rides in large
amusement centers. Paducah is a place that would be interesting to kids who are
fascinated with the beautiful ruggedness of nature and of Indian history. The
name itself, “Paducah” is believed to be taken from the legendary leader of the
Chickasaw, Chief Paduke. And the downtown is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places.
Paducah’s location is interesting because it is near several
bodies of water. On a map, it is right below the Ohio River and near the
Tennessee River. The Lake Barkley, Kentucky Lake, and Kentucky’s Western Water
Lands are also nearby. Family vacations in Paducah would entail the selection
of which body of water will the family want to see every morning. To make the
vacation planning easier, the family can use the Paducah’s travel
guide. Then, they can choose one of over 2,400 guestrooms offered by numerous
Paducah family hotels, Paducah
family bed and breakfasts, and other types of accommodations. If
interested, the family can stay at a historic lodging place called the Fox Briar Inn at RiverPlace.
