Lighthouse Landing is located at the Northern Entrance
to
Land Between The Lakes. When the Cumberland and
Tennessee Rivers were impounded to create Kentucky Lake
and Lake Barkley, an inland peninsula was formed. In
1963, President John F. Kennedy designated the peninsula

Land Between The Lakes offers limitless outdoor
recreation with some unique opportunities for
environmental education and historic interpretation.
Nestled in western Kentucky and Tennessee, LBL hosts an
