Do you like where you live based on Fishing, Hunting, and the Outdoors ?
I live 15 miles west of Kentucky Lake. So I will say Yes, I do like where I live based on Fishing.
KY Lake is 160,000 acres of Water. Barkley Lake is 57,000 acres of water.
So I live within 15 miles of nearly 220,000 acres of Lakes.
There is also over 200,000 acres of Public Hunting land in the KY Lake area .

10 minutes from Lake Russell
25 minutes from Clark Hill Lake
20 minutes from Lake Hartwell
an hour to several more lakes
Some great hog, turkey and deer hunting in any direction from home. And if you like coyote hunting we've got plenty.:rolleyes:
I'd say it dont get any better than this.Thumbs Up
I'm 2 1/2 hours from Kentucky Lake, 35 minutes from Barren River Lake. I sure wish I lived closer to Kentucky Lake, but overall am happy where I am. Got great deer and turkey hunting in my neck of the woods.
I live in Northeast Michigan. I'm surrounded by National Forest. In this area there are 60 lakes that you can get to in 30 min. Not all are good and some might not be fish-able. But for fishing, hunting & camping, we have it all. I would love to live down South where they catch all the Crappie, but overall, I like where I am.
I live in the Chattanooga area and am 45min from Weiss Lake,30 min to Chickamaga Lake 1 hour from Watts Bar Lake 30 min from Nick-a-Jack Lake 1 hour from Guntersville Lake 1 and half hours from Normandy and Tims Ford Lake and 5 hours from Ky Lake.Plenty of water around here.Love where I live.
I've never lived anywhere else, but this is a great area. Great fishing, big deer and lots of turkeys. Of course we also have lots of tourists.
3 min. from the Tennessee river
5 min. from the Ohio and Cumberland rivers
10 min from KY Lake, Barkley Lake and Smithland Pool
I live 397 miles from kentucky and it is #1 we like to fish.
Draw a triagle from Green River Lake, Nolin River Lake and Barren River Lake...my house is in the dead center of that triangle. I can't argue much with that because I'm within 45 minutes of any of the three lakes and they each have their hot time of the year. I grew up as a walleye fisherman and both Green and Nolin have a strong population of eyes to keep me busy when I'm not on the hunt for crappie.
You must live up by Paducah, KYQuote:

I've shot deer & turkey off my back porch.
Y'all come see us!

I wish the fishing was better, I live where I live as this is close to family, (but not too close) and I don't want to live any where outside of E TN. I can go fishing and "waste" a portion of the day or all day and not spend much $$, so can't complain. Would like to report those days like some do of 50 or 100 fish with 2 limits, but then I would want to do it all the time and get frustrated if I didn't. LOL. When I retire, I would like to travel to some of the other lakes around to try those and maybe see what its like to catch 50 nice ones in a single day.
Right on Herrington Lake. Building boats and fishing. I don't know if it gets better.
Reminds me of the movie, Field of Dreams, "Is this Heaven?" "No, it's Iowa."
Is this Heaven? No, it's Kentucky.
I think we're all blessed in some way to live near a body of water. It is what you make of it. To be close to LBL is really blessed!
Yes, that is very true.
I live about 15 miles west of the 170,000 acre Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area (LBL).
It's a nice place.
