I was wondering if anyone could tell me any hot spots to boat to on kentucky lake. are there any area's to stay away from some one told me that on kentucky lake there are some very shallow areas to look out for. we are staying at shawnee bay resort. any info would be appreciated.

Since your staying on the north end of the lake its pretty much open, but since your new probably need to stay in the channel. Lake Barkely is the worst if you go over there to Buzzard Rock stay in the channel.

But the hot spots are the rock quarry aka party cove, smith bay, the sands, and Buzzard rock its a marina/bar/grill. When you coming down? At the bottom of the forum is the wkpa area bunch of the locals chat there...

And remember the lake is in a dry county so if you drink bring beer, closest place is Paducah about a 30 min drive.

were going down the second week in august. do they have things marked good on the lake? thanks for the info.

Ill be there aug 1st to 3rd. At as the locals say Bucanon Resort. Fat Daddys is another watering hole on the water. Just ask the locals on the water where the stops are. They will point you in the right direction.

The channels are marked very well. I'll be out that weekend also we hang out at the rock quarry...
