Largemouth Bass in Sunlit Water

Four Kentucky waters

Kentucky water looks different from one lake or river to the next.

206 shoreline miles

Laurel River Lake

The lake is 19.2 miles long, but its coves and fingers add up to 206 miles of shoreline. Sandstone remains visible beneath the green water.

1,000+ shoreline miles

Lake Cumberland

Wolf Creek Dam turned the Cumberland River into a lake with more than 1,000 miles of shoreline. Broad crossings make wind and weather easy to see.

11 lb. 15 oz. smallmouth

Dale Hollow

The world-record smallmouth bass was caught here in 1955, and the reservoir is known for clear water and rocky banks.

15.9 wild river miles

Rockcastle River

A 15.9-mile stretch is designated a Kentucky Wild River, and Rockcastle Narrows runs between cliffs reaching 100 feet high.

Place facts: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — Laurel, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — Cumberland, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and U.S. Forest Service.

Looking at Kentucky water

What changes the color.

Explore the Laurel River Lake Color Guide →
01
Shallow water shows the bottom.

Ochre sandstone, creek stones, fish, and plant matter remain visible near the bank. In deeper water, green, blue, and shadow take over.

02
The forest moves across the surface.

Leaves, dark banks, open sky, and late sun shift as the boat, wind, and viewing angle change.

03
Rain changes the shoreline.

Runoff darkens soil and stone, fills small creeks and waterfalls, and changes what is visible where the forest meets the lake.
