Pull up Mapquest.com & punch in the "from & to" info ... that'll give you directions. (most of your ride will be on the Bluegrass Parkway) It'll be about a 4hr drive +/-

Here, this is what I'm talking about : Driving Directions from Lexington, Kentucky to Benton, Kentucky

Can't really tell ya what's the best way to fish that area ... but, I'd bet it would depend on the weather & water level/conditions. Your best bet would be to be prepared to drift, starting in deep water .... and work your way shallow. In any case, I doubt you'll be the only boat in the bay :p ... so, watch & learn

Here are some rough directions-I'll try to get more precise later
Bluegrass Pky west to I-65 south. West KY pky west to I-24 west exit 25 (not sure if it's 25A or 25B). Anyway it's Purchase pky south to exit 47 (I think). Take hwy 68 east appr. 5 miles (turn left to go to Moors Resort-sorry I can't remember the road name) go 4-5 miles. Buckhorn Bay Park rd. will be on the right-it's easy to miss, but if you do the road will make a circle and bring you back.

Bump, still looking for any help available. Sorry not trying to be a pest, just trying to figure it out before I leave. Thanks ^^

edit: sorry browser didnt show new info until I posted this. Ill still take any possible suggestions you all can give me. Thanks again!

Hey Gary,
You can look at this. Good ramp and good courtesy dock.
