Buckhorn Lake, KY

Nestled in the serene Appalachian foothills, Buckhorn Lake is a great place to go boating and fishing. Bass, crappie and musky swim in this 1,230-acre lake in the east-central part of the state.

Quality bass fishing, topped off with the chance to catch a monster musky, make this a great angling destination. You can find everything you need at, or close by the lake. Duffs Bay Marina has rental boats and all the supplies you need. A bait shop, restaurants, lodging and camping stand ready to make your stay pleasant. There are over 60 miles of shoreline, some of which can be accessed for fishing from the bank. Several boat launch ramps are available to the public.
