Marina Hours

Hours change with the season

Marina hours are not the same in July as they are in January, and they are not identical across the four marinas. A lake marina is busy from spring through autumn and much quieter through winter, and the hours follow the boating season. Rather than publish times that go out of date and send someone on a wasted drive, we keep hours current by phone.

Before you visit, call the marina you are heading to and check. It takes a minute and it is the reliable answer.

Roughly what to expect

As a general guide, all four marinas keep their longest hours through the summer season, from around Memorial Day to Labor Day, with the fuel dock and store open seven days a week. Hours shorten through spring and autumn, and shorten further through winter, when some services run on reduced days.

The fuel dock and store hours are usually the ones that matter most to a visitor, and those are the ones most likely to change with the season and the weather. A call is always worth it.

Which marina are you heading to

Each marina publishes its own current hours on its own site, and its own staff will always have the most up to date answer.

• Barren River State Dock, Barren River Lake, Lucas KY
• Peninsula Marina, Barren River Lake, Glasgow KY

Booking a rental at Barren River State Dock

If you are planning a boat rental at the state dock, hours matter less than availability. Summer weekends book out ahead of time, so the call to make is about securing the boat, not just checking when the dock opens. Have your dates ready.

Call before you drive

The single reliable way to know a marina’s hours today is to call it. The corporate office can also point you to the right marina if you are not sure who to ask.
