All about Kentucky Lake

One of the largest bodies of water east of the Mississippi River, Kentucky Lake covers over 160,000 acres of southwestern Kentucky and northwestern Tennessee. This artificial reservoir, which the Tennessee River flows into and out of, is known for its boating and fishing opportunities — some of Kentucky’s largest fish have been caught here. You’ll find numerous public boat docks around the lakeshore, and its vast waters lend themselves to a whole host of activities, from water skiing and tubing to freshwater scuba diving.

On land, the lake’s 2,000 miles of shoreline include several state parks with miles of hiking, biking, and ATV trails — paved and unpaved, flat and challenging — winding through forests and meadows. Waterfowl, beavers, and turtles frequently venture onto the lake’s sandy shores to have a look at the human swimmers, while deer, turkeys, and owls emerge from the dense forests at regular intervals, darting back into the trees soon after.
