Kentucky Lake is one of the best lakes for sport fishing in the country, whether it is crappie, bass, bluegill, or catfish you're hunting. Kentucky Lake is also home to outstanding recreational boating, from jet skis to ski boats to pleasure boating. Sail the lakes, or rent a houseboat and have a good time! Lake Barkley is a younger lake and is slightly smaller than Kentucky Lake, but still offers the same great fishing experiences and boating opportunities you'll find on Kentucky Lake. There are several full-service marinas, resorts, and campgrounds along Lake Barkley to make your visit a pleasurable one. With over 210,000 acres of water, Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley provide plenty of room for fishing, boating, and outdoor recreation.
