Prestonville sits where two great rivers meet, offering big-sky views of the Kentucky and Ohio and a laid-back pace that never feels far from what you need. Across the bridge from Carrollton and part of Carroll County, the city pairs front-porch friendliness with quick access to groceries, healthcare, and local dining. Weekend plans practically make themselves at General Butler State Resort Park, where lakeside trails, paddling, and year‑round programming await at the park’s official hub at General Butler State Resort Park.
River life is a daily backdrop here. Stroll the riverwalk and greenspaces promoted by Carrollton/Carroll County Tourism, or launch a kayak to watch towboats navigate the confluence. For a deeper look at the working river, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Markland Locks and Dam is a short, scenic drive away at Markland Locks and Dam. Festivals, concerts, and seasonal markets add rhythm to the calendar, and the county fair brings carnival lights and livestock shows to town each summer via Carroll County Fair.
Families appreciate that students attend Carroll County Schools, known for career pathways and strong extracurriculars at Carroll County Schools. Lifelong learners can upskill close to home at the Jefferson Community and Technical College Carrollton Campus, detailed at Jefferson Community and Technical College – Carrollton Campus, while the Carroll County Public Library anchors community programming at Carroll County Public Library.
