Taylorsville-Lake
is located in Spencer County in north-central Kentucky. It's only a short drive from the city of Louisville. The man-made lake was created between 1974 and 1983 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. It's a popular fishing spot and Taylorsville Lake State Park surrounds the lake. The state park encompasses 1,200 acres and offers RV campsites, equestrian sites and primitive tent campsites. Two playgrounds are also located at the campgrounds. Taylorsville Lake is stocked with bass, bluegill and crappie. A marina offers gas, food, fishing equipment and pontoon boat rentals. Other lake activities include water-skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, jet skiing and swimming. A 16-mile trail system in the park is available for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Taylorsville Lake is usually fairly crowded in summer, especially around the holidays. A caution to boaters; use caution when leaving the river channel that runs through the lake due to standing timber that can sometimes be just under the water surface. There are several boat ramps around the lake, but the two most popular are in the northwestern part of the lake.
