Description
Bordering TVA's Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area in the rolling hills of southwest Kentucky and north central Tennessee, Lake Barkley offers waterfowl hunting, great boating and fishing, nature trails, a national battlefield, and a national waterfowl refuge. In fact there's so much to this lake that a lot of people end up getting a houseboat rental and spending several days taking it all in. If that's not enough, Lake Barkley is connected by canal to Kentucky Lake.
