The land between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley is home to more than 300 miles of shoreline, 500 miles of exploration trails and 170,000 acres of land, including forests, wetlands and open fields. In its midst, you will find plentiful wildlife, ample fishing opportunities, hiking trails for all skill levels and preserved historical sites, all along some of the most gorgeous views you'll find anywhere in the country.
Whether you're bringing your whole family or coming by yourself, this vacation guide to the Land Between the Lakes of Kentucky and Tennessee, affectionately nicknamed the LBL, will help you start planning your getaway and learning the highlights of Land Between the Lakes tourism. Reserve a stay with KOA to have the best trip possible from beginning to end.
With so much space in the Land Between the Lakes, you'll find a near-infinite amount of activities to keep you occupied, whatever your hobbies are. Most tourists find something to love, whether on the water or in the forest.
Together, Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake make up the largest body of water between the Great Lakes and the Gulf Coast and the largest human-made body of water worldwide. With that in mind, it makes sense that you can find somewhere along the lakes to participate in practically any watersport, from fishing to riding a Jet Ski.
Make sure you pack your fishing license when you venture to the LBL. You will be able to find boats for rent all down the coastline and soon be on your way to catching bass, catfish, bluegill and other fish that frequent these waters. Not an angler? Take a canoe or kayak along one of the scenic water trails for a good view of fish, birds and other wildlife.
Aside from the water, one of the most popular reasons people visit the LBL is to explore the hundreds of miles of hiking trails. There are trails for you to walk and bike and additional trails designed for off-road vehicles. Riders of any skill level are welcome to test them out. Depending on the time of year you travel to the LBL, you might even be able to snag a seat in a guided horseback trail ride.
The LBL is teeming with wildlife of all kinds. Most notably, many American Bald Eagles have made their home on this protected land. Take a walk and see if you can find any beavers, bison or osprey while out. If you hunt, you might also choose to take a trip here for the deer, waterfowl, turkey and small game. As long as you have your hunting license and your preferred game is in season, you can test your skills in these great outdoors.
Clearly, there is an abundance of interesting outdoor activities for the nature enthusiast to enjoy on their next visit to the LBL. Some spots draw thousands of the 1.5 million tourists the LBL sees every year. To get the complete experience the LBL has to offer, check out these family-friendly locations for their exciting, informative and affordable presentations:
