Top Lake Barkley Fishing Resorts

One of Kentucky's greatest creations has a big fish story similar to many of the nations' great waterways. It was born upon the completion of the Barkley Dam and impounded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1966. And since its vacation-time timeline began, the pools of eager fishermen have crowded to the 58,000-acre Lake Barkley reservoir and 1,000-foot shoreline like water downhill. So if you're seeking to snatch that monster bass, catch a crappie, or just fish around the Land Between The Lakes, you can enjoy each water world dimension of Lake Barkley from the Top Lake Barkley Fishing Resorts!
