<b>Paintsville Lake.</b> 1100 acres, Restrooms, Campsites, Picnic Day /
Use, Launch Ramp, Marina, Fuel, Visitor Information Center. The lake is
approx. 20 miles long to its most navigable point. In fact, the term lake
is somewhat of a misnomer because after you get approximately 3 miles above
the dam, it narrows down considerably to more resemble a river. A deep
river....depths in the channel were often 75’ or more. Paintsville Lake
is not for the go fast types, with its twisting “S” turns and narrow areas,
it's more for the cruiser that likes to take it slow and enjoy the sights.
This lake is popular with bass fishermen whom often fish the drop-offs
along the entire length. Miles of rocky limestone bluffs complete with
caves, overhangs and huge boulders along with oaks, cedars and rhododendrons
clinging tenaciously to the cliffs. This lake is truly a Kentucky Wonder!
A ramp is available by the Marina near the dam. Located off 23 & 460
