Smithland rises where the Ohio and Cumberland Rivers meet, giving daily life a riverfront backdrop that locals never take for granted. The county seat of Livingston County invites easy evenings by the water and unhurried mornings along quiet streets. Watch towboats glide by from the Smithland Locks and Dam, step back in time at the Gower House, or handle errands at the Livingston County Courthouse with everything close at hand.
Families value the K–12 support of Livingston County Schools, where athletics, arts, and career-readiness programs double as community gatherings. Weekends are built for the outdoors: hike, cycle, and spot wildlife in the vast Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, or make a quick trip to Lake Barkley State Resort Park for beaches, trails, and lake views. For marinas and waterfront dining, nearby Grand Rivers and Eddyville are easy hops. Travel is smoother than ever thanks to the new US 60 span highlighted by the Smithland Bridge project.
