Yates Cabin was built in the 1840's, however, when they built Taylorsville Lake, which is a man made lake, they moved the cabin so it wouldn't be destroyed as they flooded the area where it originally was built. This beautiful old log cabin was built with unusually wide logs which made it a little bit different from the standard log cabins back in the day.
Taylorsville Lake is about a 25 minute drive from my house in southeast Louisville. I hadn't visited the lake in many, many years. The lake has several boat ramps, a marina, picnic areas, hiking trails and a horse camp and trails. While I drove past the marina, I noticed there were several boaters carting their Christmas trees in wheel barrels along the dock so they could be hauled away.
This is a view of the lake looking through the trees along the road in the state park. FYI, it was in the mid 50's yesterday and today, well it's a balmy 28 degrees with a very brisk wind blowing. BRRRR. ENJOY!
