Kentucky Lake

About Kentucky Lake

Kentucky Lake is located in Marshall County in western Kentucky. We are surrounded by vast lakes and rivers in the region where the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland Rivers come together.

One of those rivers – the Tennessee River – is home to Kentucky Lake. Our lake is enormous with over 160,000 acres of water and hundreds of miles of shoreline. With so much room, there’s plenty of space for anglers and pleasure boaters alike!

And it’s not just the waters of Kentucky Lake that we are proud to offer! Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area borders us to the east and features dozens of miles of hiking trials, attractions, wildlife viewing, and nature-exploring. We truly are an outdoor playground!

Conveniently located at the junction of Interstates 24 and 69, we are within a day’s drive of 70% of the United States. Folks from metros such as Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis and all places in between love to visit Kentucky Lake.
