A unique tradition for more than 40 years, Kentucky State Parks announced dates for its 2019 Eagle Watch Weekends, a chance to observe bald eagles as they gather around the major lakes of western Kentucky looking for food.

This unique wildlife-watching opportunity is offered as a tour by water in January and February of 2019 at three Kentucky state resort parks.

Led by state park naturalists and staff from the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, the tours also offer a chance to learn about other wildlife in the area.

Each state resort park – Kentucky Dam Village, Lake Barkley, and Kenlake – will offer morning and afternoon yacht tours. A brunch cruise will be a featured event unique to Kenlake, while Kentucky Dam Village will also offer van tours to the Ballard Wildlife Management Area.

The dates for Eagle Watch Weekends are listed below, along with each park and its phone number:
