Beaver Lake (Kentucky)

Beaver Lake is a reservoir located in Anderson County, Kentucky. It was created by the damming of the Salt River in the late 1960s by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR). The primary purpose of Beaver Lake is recreational fishing and boating.

The lake covers approximately 140 acres and has a maximum depth of around 30 feet. The shoreline is largely wooded and undeveloped, contributing to its natural aesthetic. Beaver Lake is known for its populations of largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish. The KDFWR regularly stocks the lake to maintain healthy fish populations.

Access to Beaver Lake is provided through a public boat ramp maintained by the KDFWR. There are also several areas along the shoreline suitable for bank fishing. The lake is subject to Kentucky fishing regulations, and a valid fishing license is required. Beaver Lake is a popular destination for local anglers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a quiet and accessible fishing experience.
