About Carr Creek State Park

Twenty-nine acres of land border Carr Creek Lake, a 750-acre reservoir that forms the park's central feature. The lake's surface area far exceeds the park's own footprint, making it the dominant draw for anyone visiting. The park sits along Kentucky Route 15, giving road access to the shoreline.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
