Lake Barkley: An Overview

Lake Barkley was created in 1964, 20 years after Kentucky Lake, by damming up the Cumberland River at Grand Rivers.  While smaller and a bit more shallow than Kentucky Lake, Barkley holds its own with over 50,000 acres of water and over 1,000 miles of shoreline.

With Land Between The Lakes located on the southern and western shores of Lake Barkley, there are abundant wildlife viewing and recreational activities to be experience.

With most of the homes and properties on the east side of Barkley, evening sunsets are spectacular from your back yard or deck overlooking the lake.

The communities of Cadiz, Eddyville, Kuttawa, Linton and Grand Rivers make up the homes and properties found at Lake Barkley.
