Buckhorn rewards people who favor water, woods, and a sky full of stars. Weekends often revolve around the shoreline at Buckhorn Lake State Resort Park, where the lodge, marina, and trail system make it easy to spend sunrise paddling and sunset unwinding with scenic views. Anglers praise Buckhorn Lake for bass and muskie, and fall color tours turn winding drives into photo ops. With the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River nearby and the broader highlands within reach, outdoor time comes naturally.
Families are served by Perry County Schools, with academic programs, athletics, and career pathways that plug students into local opportunities. For upskilling or degree programs close to home, Hazard Community and Technical College offers workforce certificates and university-transfer options. Healthcare needs are supported in regional hubs like Hazard, and everyday errands or courthouse business across Perry County are a straightforward drive.
Life here moves at a relaxed pace, yet adventures are close—trailheads and overlooks in the Daniel Boone National Forest are an easy day trip, and neighboring Hyden adds more dining and community events to your mix. Whether you’re drawn by lakeside cabins, a porch with mountain views, or land for a garden and a boat shed, Buckhorn offers room to breathe and space to grow.
