I am relocating to Paducah in July and am just trying to gather as much information before the move. Any information would be helpful I have never been their so I am starting at ground zero. I am looking for a place to stay so if anyone knows someone selling or renting that would be helpful to. We are looking forward to the move it was my top choice.
I don't know my away around Paducah much, but I DO know that you'll be right next to my favorite lake in the world, KY Lake.

Have you ever fished KY Lake?
If I were buying a house in the Paducah area, I would start at KY Dam Marina (Gilbertsville) and work my way towards Paducah until you find something. Calvert City is nice - about a 15 or 20 minute ride to Paducah depending on which part you're going to.
beware of the folks out that way...they are a little goofyAll kidding aside, paducah is nice and the lakes are da bomb.

If I ever move back north from the south...I will be looking for something in that area! You will love it there. But as someone said...bring a generator!

I will keep the generator in mind, never fished ky lake but am very excited about having it in my back yard. Besides the Champion I have a 8' pond boat should I sell this before moving or are there smaller electric only ponds worth moving it out to ky
I live half way between Paducah and Kentucky Lake at Sharpe. Love the area! Exit 4 off of I-24 has everything you need. Lowes, Home Depot, Restaurants, The Mall. Great hospitals and the people are very friendly. If you like to fish I would try to find a place on the east side of Paducah so you get to the lake easy. There are a lot of residencial areas and subdivisions in the area. Reidland is a nice area.
Sell the 8' pond boat. There are a few farm ponds and watersheds around, but once you start fishing the Big K, you will have no use for the little boat!
i like the downtown area in the summer.live bands and car shows most weekends.the wife and i will drive up there to eat and walk around most of the night.very nice area.

...unless you duck hunt. I have an 8' pond hopper that comes in quite handy for the small creeks, streams, and shallow backs of bays that hold ducks

Thanks, I will give him a call, maybe if I buy a house he will take me fishing, anything to help the learning curve. How many boats do you get out for Jet A Marina buddy bass tourney?
We usually have around 300 to 320 boats in our tournament, its the biggest tournament on Ky Lake for the past several years.
