Golden Pond, KY – Beginning Thursday, March 1st, Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area will temporarily open the Fenton Camping Area and Boat Ramp and US68/KY80 west of the Woodlands Trace National Scenic Byway.
The area was closed due to the partial collapse of the Eggner’s Ferry Bridge. Barricades will block access to the bridge. You are responsible for your own safety; please stay away from any closed areas. Use extreme caution while boating, as there could be debris in the water. The entire area may be closed in the future depending on response to the damaged bridge. For information about water safety on Kentucky Lake, contact the U.S. Coast Guard at 270.816.7627.
For information about the future of the bridge and highway, contact Kentucky Transportation Cabinet at 270.898.2431.
Land Between The Lakes is managed by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, to provide outdoor recreation and environmental education for the public to enjoy. Additional information is available on LBL’s official website at www.lbl.org, or by calling 1.800.LBL.7077 or 270.924.2000.
