LBL draws thousands of tourists | The Leaf-Chronicle

Recreational area focal point for fishing, hunting, camping

Land Between the Lakes is a 170,000-acre national outdoor recreation area in the western parts Kentucky and Tennessee, located just off Interstate 24, 35 miles west of Clarksville, and 30 miles southeast of Paducah, Kentucky.
The recreation area forms an inland peninsula bounded by two reservoirs, Lake Barkley on the east and Kentucky Lake on the west. A canal joins the twin lakes and, together, they constitute one of the largest bodies of man-made water in the world.
Kentucky Lake was created in the 1940s on the Tennessee River by the Tennessee Valley Authority and Lake Barkley in 1950s on the Cumberland River by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
LBL is the focal point of a $600 million tourism industry that draws nearly 2 million visitors each year. The recreation area is the most visited attraction in the state of Kentucky and the third most visited in Tennessee.
You can quickly conclude that fishing is the number one activity for LBL visitors. Bordered by two of the most popular fishing lakes in the United States, the recreation area is a natural destination for anglers who want to catch heavy stringers of fish, especially bass, crappie and catfish.
In addition to the Twin Lakes, fishing is also permitted in most of the 20 farm ponds and five small lakes within LBL, adding another dimension for angling possibilities.
To assist the visiting anglers with their fishing decisions, LBL provides a telephonic weekly fishing report with the current conditions on Kentucky and Barkley Lakes. The recorded 2-minute message is updated every Thursday afternoon and provides information on what species of fish are being caught, where to fish for them and what fishing techniques to use. Lake conditions, water levels, water temperature and water clarity are also provided in the report. The fishing information can be obtained by calling (270) 924-2000. A printed version of the fishing report is also posted weekly at all LBL visitor facilities and on the LBL Web site at www.lbl.org Click link below for full story!
