    Default You think the water is high now.....


    Dug up some past high water levels on Kentucky Lake. Remember, summer pool is 359.0.

    May 11th, 1984 - 369.99 This is the highest the lake has ever gotten.
    May 24th, 1983 - 369.87
    March 28th, 1973 - 369.01
    Jan 24th, 1950 - 368.81
    April 19th, 1979 - 368.14

    And we think we got it bad now with 365.6!

    We had a place down there in the late 70's and early 80's. I remember 3 of them well. We parked the boats right in front of the trailer which was usually 150+ to the water. Caught cats on the gravel road in 83.

    Got this off of Ky Lake Forums.

    Hope this is legal.

    WOW Hard to believe it was higher there in 1984 than 1973. Here at Pickwick it was 4 ft lower in 84. Than it was in 1973.
    In the river here at Pickwick it was 398.9 I think that was what It was in 73. I know it got close to enough to our house that we could tie the boat up to the porch with a 20ft Rope.. And the river came up 19ft from one evening to the next morning.
