Sailboats and boats in covered slips at Peninsula Marina

Peninsula Marina, a slip holder's marina on Barren River Lake

Peninsula Marina is a 264-slip marina on Barren River Lake near Glasgow, Kentucky. It sits two miles from Barren River Dam, reached from Highway 252 by way of Highway 2065. Most of what happens here revolves around the boats kept in our slips, and the marina is set up for people who come out often and like a familiar dock.

Slips, jet ports and the basics done well

Seasonal open slips are offered at 10×16 and 10×20. Annual covered slips range from 10×24 to 18×50, while the annual open slips come in 10×30 and 20×70. Jet ports hold personal watercraft. On shore there are separate men’s and women’s restrooms, pumps that sell fuel with no ethanol, and a well-stocked store.

Why boaters pick Peninsula Marina

The docks are kept clean and in good repair, and the staff take time to learn who you are. That matters more than it sounds. When your boat sits in a slip all season, you want people around it who notice if a line has worked loose.

The marina has a long history on the lake. It opened as Sawyer Landing in 1992, became Peninsula Marina under Tim and Marty Craycroft in 2004, and has belonged to the Rubright family since 2019.

Barren River Lake, close to Glasgow KY

Barren River Lake is one of the Kentucky lakes built and managed by the Corps of Engineers.

Bowling Green, Glasgow and the towns nearby

The marina is within reach of Glasgow, Bowling Green and the smaller towns of Barren County. Highway 252 brings you most of the way, and Highway 2065 takes you to the marina.

A season at Peninsula Marina

The marina opens in mid April, when the first slip holders bring their boats back to the water and the store restocks for the year. Summer brings the longest days, holiday weekends and busy coves. By early fall the lake quiets down, the mornings cool off and the fishing picks up. The marina closes for the season in mid October, and the office keeps taking calls through the winter for anyone planning ahead.

While you are here, stop by the fuel dock and the marina store. Both sit right on the water.

Owners new to the lake

If you have just bought your first boat, a slip at a marina where people know the water is a good place to start. Ask the staff about the lake, the best coves for a first outing and the fuel dock routine. Nobody minds questions here.

There is no pressure to sign up on a first visit. Look around, ask questions and come back when you are ready.
