The Nashville District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers welcomes you to Laurel River Lake. Laurel River Lake, with its cliff-lined shores and quiet coves, is a favorite destination. Because of the temperate climate and relatively long recreation season, visitors have numerous activities from which to choose, including: fishing, camping, picnicking, boating, canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, diving and to relax at one of the deepest and cleanest lakes in Kentucky. Because of the lake's proximity to I-75 (20 minutes from Exit 25, 29, and 38) lakeside recreation can fit nicely into your other vacation plans.
