| Tourism - Barren River Lake |

Some of the best fishing, boating, camping and skiing are found in Allen County along its 50 miles of shoreline at Barren River Lake. The Kentucky State Record Hybrid Bass (20 lbs. 8 ozs.) was taken right here in the Lake. Trophy deer, wild turkey and excellent fishing are available for the sportsperson in the area surrounding the lake and the rest of Allen County.
