Kentucky Lakes and Rivers

Did you know that Kentucky offers the greatest length of navigable waterways and streams in the entire lower 48 with more than 90,000 miles? It’s true. Kentucky is also the only state in the country to be bordered by rivers on three sides.

You could literally schedule an entire vacation around the recreation you’ll find at dozens of lakes and rivers such as the Kentucky, Tennessee and Cumberland.

Visit Kentucky lake marinas for swimming and jet skiing. Canoe on easy-flowing streams, or kayak down Class V white-water rapids. Cast a line in some of the best fishing lakes in the country or explore the underwater world while snorkeling.

Explore the famous “Land Between the Lakes” National Recreation Area, or find the secluded streams and lakes of the 52 Kentucky state parks.

Whatever your favorite on-water passion, you’ll find it in Kentucky.
