Lakes in Kentucky

Imagine thoroughbred horses prancing through grass greener than you've ever seen, and... you're in Kentucky, home of the Derby, the Red River Gorge, bluegrass music and some of the prettiest lakes on earth.

Three of Kentucky's lakes extend into the state of Tennessee: Lake Barkley, Dale Hollow Lake and Kentucky Lake. Other notable bodies of water located completely within the state include Cave Run Lake, Rough River Lake and Nolin River Lake. And if you're a lake enthusiast, there are two beauties you won't want to miss. Lake Cumberland, which is situated in Lake Cumberland Resort Park, is a wonderful destination for boating, fishing, camping or simply relaxing lakeside at lovely Lure Lodge. Barren River Lake in Barren River State Resort Park is another must- see Kentucky Lake, a 10,000-acre stunner ringed with rolling forestland.
