Review:
Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is a 170,000-acre playground in Western Kentucky and Tennessee, one of the largest tracts of undeveloped forest on the East Coast.
Located on a peninsula between Kentucky and Barkley lakes, the area consists of dense forests, miles of wetlands, and open lands.
With 300 miles of unspoiled shoreline, the park provides wonderful settings for picnicking, camping, hiking, boating, fishing, water sports and wildlife observation.
There are 240 different species of birds living in the park at least part of the year, including the hummingbirds which migrate in August. There are 500 miles of diverse trails for biking, hiking, horseback riding and off-road riding.
