Reviews
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoThis is a great place for camping, swimming and relaxing. Some of the beaches are rocky, so bring your swim shoes.
- ★★★★★9 months agoThe best big boat lake in Kentucky. Also a great lake for swimming. Flat rock surface is easy on the feet.
- ★★★★★about 5 years agoHuge lake. Clean. Boat ramps and beaches are nice. Enjoyed kayaking on the lake and there's plenty of space not to feel crowded by the boats.
- ★★★★★over 3 years agoOne of the hidden gems of KY. I feel hesitant to post because I don't want to see this lake get too crowded so I can enjoy the peace! Better than Lake Cumberland by far in my opinion. 8 haven't fished it yet so I can't speak to that, but great for tubing and just taking in the beautiful scenery!
