Barren has great crappie, bluegill and some awesome hybrid fishing. It is a flood resevoir so dealing with major depth fluctuations sucks.
Real Estate wise the prices are great at Barren but steadily climbing. Glasgow and Bowling Green are both 30 mins or less from Barren so anything you could ever need is a short drive away.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have about this area.

Thank you for the reply. We are not 100% certain where we are going to land but we are 90% certain of it being KY/TN area. But we just want to be somewhere close to some fishing and out of this cold. I know you get some snow, ice and cold in KY/TN but nothing like northern IL. I may pick your brain a little more about Barren. We are going to schedule a few days to a week to try a couple different lakes this year. I was leaning towards Green but Barren looks good too.
Again thanks.
Oh I see you are a Marine. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I have a grandson at San Diego right now going through boot camp.
