Nolin-River-Lake
is a reservoir located in Edmonson, Grayson and Hart counties in central/west-central Kentucky. It was created by the impoundment of the Nolin River in 1938 for flood control. The lake's water varies from 2,890 acres in the winter to 5,795 acres in the summer. Over two million people visit Nolin River Lake and Nolin Lake State Park each year. The lake is especially popular for boating and fishing, and it's one of the top five lakes in the state for catfish, bass, crappie and walleye. It's also a good place for camping. Nolin Lake Campground features 32 campsites with water and electricity and 60 primitive sites. There's restrooms and showers, a playground, laundry facilities and a dump station. Three sites are adapted for the disabled. Pets are allowed on the grounds, if restrained. Other things to do at Nolin River Lake are canoeing, swimming, hiking, and picnicking. It's also quite popular for birding. Great Blue Heron, Canadian Geese, and Wild Turkey are abundant in the winter months, while spring brings Sandhill Cranes and the occasional Bald Eagle. Nolin River Lake is also near Mammoth Cave National Park. In fact, the majority of the Nolin River follows a path located within the boundary of Mammoth Cave Park and is very scenic for canoe trips.
