KY State Parks to Offer Eagle Watching Excursions

By Drew Adams

Murray, KY – Kentucky State Parks will offer an opportunity for the public to view eagles in their natural habitat in January and February. The park system sponsors the wildlife-watching opportunity as bald eagles gather around western Kentucky's major lakes looking for food. The tours allow visitors to observe and learn about the eagles. They are led by state park naturalists and Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists. The tours at Kentucky Dam Village, Lake Barkley and Kenlake include an option to view eagles from the CQ Princess, a 96-foot yacht. Guests can view eagles from inside the CQ Princess or from outside decks.
