PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) – Jenny Wiley State Resort Park’s lodge is undergoing $5.5 million in renovations to enhance visitor experiences. Additionally, the park will add a new archery center that will be accessible to the public and provide opportunities for local, invitational, district and regional tournaments.

Gov. Andy Beshear signed legislation in 2023 and 2024 funding for the improvements.

The archery center is scheduled to break ground in the fall of this year. May Lodge, which includes the dining room, meeting rooms and lodge rooms, will close Sept. 1, 2025, for renovations with an estimated completion date in the summer of 2026. During this time, a dining room will operate out of the conference center.

In addition to the lodge closures, the campground and cottages will remain closed to the public, as they are being used to shelter Kentuckians displaced by recent flooding.
