Review:
Known for its deep waters, licensed visitors can experience one of Kentucky’s best fishing spots at Rough River Dam. Here, anglers can rent a pontoon and relax on the 5,000-acre lake amongst an abundance of fish. Along the shore, a scenic public beach and volleyball court are also available for those wanting to enjoy the sand and gentle lake waves. Accommodations are plentiful within the park including a 40-room lodge offering private balconies and patios, 17 two-bedroom cottages situated near the lake, and several primitive and electric campsites for every kind of camper. Other activities include miniature golf, basketball, and a beautiful nature trail where hikers can spot various birds including Bald Eagles.
