Kentucky Lake

The largest body of water between the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes is right in our backyard.  Kentucky Lake is the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi River.  Over 250 square miles of water with over 2,000 miles of shoreline is waiting to be discovered.  The lake is 184 miles long and about 1.5 to 2 miles wide providing plenty of playground space for boaters, water-players, and fishermen alike.

The lake is known for outstanding crappie and bass fishing with several major tournaments held each year.  In addition, panfish such as bluegill and shellcrackers are plentiful as well as catfish, sauger and white bass.

Numerous resorts and marinas are located here in Henry County offering boat rentals, bait/tackle, waverunners, covered slips, and much more.  See our accommodations pages for more information.
