Kentucky town named one of the best lakeside retirement spots by Southern Living

Kentucky has 45 major lakes across the Commonwealth, but only one spot made Southern Living's list of the South’s best lake towns for retirees. On a list of 17 southern lake towns “where retirement feels like a vacation,” Paducah earned a spot. Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, the two largest lakes in the Commonwealth, sit near Paducah, and three rivers, the Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee, meet in or around the town. “Paducah and the small towns that surround it offer up fun on the area’s many lakes and rivers,” the magazine said. The Paducah Riverfront sits on the shores of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers. According to the city , the riverfront has a “variety of can’t-miss sites,” including historical markers, murals, festivals, fireworks, concerts and boat docks. The town hosts events year round. Here are some coming up this week: Wednesday, Nov. 11 2026 Veterans Day opening ceremony and parade. Sewing for a sustainable future: Unlocking the language of patterns. Veterans Day Sunrise Reveille at Dolly McNutt Memorial Plaza. Thursday, Nov. 12 Merry Mingle Market at the Troutt Old Time General Store and Market.

A Kentucky school district with a virtual academy saved by state lawmakers in 2025 has now logged a third straight year of poor academic performance. Cloverport Independent’s elementary, middle and high school levels all received the state’s lowest ratings in 2024, 2025 and into 2026, though some grade levels showed modest gains this year. FULL STORY: KY lawmakers saved a virtual school. Now it has 3 straight years of bad scores Here are five key things to know from our reporting: Enrollment imbalance: Cloverport Independent has 230 in-person K-12 students, while 2,073 students attend its Kentucky Virtual Academy — about 90% of the district’s total enrollment. Latest scores: In October, 2026 results showed Cloverport elementary students remained at a “red” rating, the state’s lowest, while middle and high school levels rose slightly to “orange.” Superintendent’s response: Keith Haynes said many virtual students “were not experiencing success in traditional schools and came to us with significant academic deficits,” and told families he doesn’t believe the state’s accountability model “adequately accounts for our context.” How it stayed open: The 2025 General Assembly passed legislation barring enrollment caps on virtual academies, overriding a Kentucky Department of Education rule that would have limited virtual
