**Important Note:** Kingdom Come Lake is a **2.5-acre lake with no motorized boating allowed**, making it ideal for paddlers seeking a peaceful, quiet-water experience. Kayakers and canoeists will find this a scenic option within Kingdom Come State Park, nestled in the Cumberland Mountains of southeastern Kentucky. Paddle boats are available for rental at the park.
**Access and Logistics:** The park is located in Harlan County near Cumberland, with an observation deck accessible at 2,960 feet elevation. Note that the access road features hairpin turns and narrow, one-lane sections with drop-offs—trailers and RVs are not recommended. Standard vehicles can navigate the road, but drive carefully. The small lake is suitable for recreational paddling and a peaceful walk around the shoreline.
**Regulations and Amenities:** All FINs lakes prohibit the possession or use of live shad for bait, and any grass carp caught must be immediately released. The park offers primitive campsites, picnic shelters, fishing access, and 14 hiking trails, making it a good base for a multi-activity outdoor trip in addition to paddling.
