Fishing on Lake Barkley is an angler's dream. A thriving population of crappie, largemouth bass, white bass, catfish, sauger and bluegill offer a challenge for fishermen.

The woods, fields and waters of the Lake Barkley area pose a rich seasonal playground for game seekers. They do it for fun, but hunting is pretty serious business around here!

High on the list of Lake Barkley area hunters is white-tailed deer. Kentucky is regularly in the top five states in producing record book deer, and the area yields its share of whoppers. Farm ground mixed with woodlots in the private sector hereabouts produces whitetails both in quantity and quality. Nearby Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge offers open hunting in rich bottomland hardwoods. And perhaps the region’s favorite public land option, the U.S. Forest Service’s Land Between the Lakes, presents a unique big woods hunting experience on 170,000 acres of ridges and hollows.
