lakes area hunting & fishing Pack your bags…you need to go to Western Kentucky for the greatest outdoor experience of your life. The true outdoors is right here at your fingertips. Whether you want to spend a relaxing few days fishing on some of the best lakes and rivers in the country, a long weekend hiking or biking along our many trails, or hunting in one of our public wildlife management areas, you can find it all right here. Outdoor recreational opportunities are all around you. You can watch eagles and osprey, cruise down one of our scenic waterways, ride horses and ATV’s, go kayaking and backpacking, or go camping at one of our many campgrounds. The possibilities here in the outdoors are endless. FISHING

With over 217,000 acres of water and over 3,000 miles of shoreline, Kentucky and Barkley Lakes offer prime fishing year round. You’ll be sure to find a big catch! The lakes offer catfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, Kentucky (spotted) bass, white bass, striped bass, white and black crappie, bluegill, and rockfish.

HUNTING

Kentucky’s growing deer herd and turkey flock mean this season will be one of the best ever to go hunting in the state. Kentucky has 1.6 million acres of land open to the public for hunting so finding a spot that’s right for you isn’t hard to do. Where can you hunt? You can hunt on the many wildlife management areas or in Land Between the Lakes, which offers more than 230 days of hunting opportunities throughout the year for Turkeys, Deer, Small Game, and Waterfowl. Find more on LBL Hunting at www.lbl.org. For more information about the Outdoor activities in our area or for a complete listing of Hunting seasons, Fishing limits, Guide services, or License fees, please visit www.kentuckylakebarkley.travel.

KWW represents and promotes all facets of the tourism industry from the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers to the Lakes Area and beyond to Todd County. KWW was established in 1969 and is managed by a Board of Directors elected from across the region. KWW is funded primarily by annual membership dues and fund-raising efforts.
