There's nothing more peaceful than sitting on the banks of a river and watching the water as it flows downstream. Why not pack a picnic lunch and spend a quiet couple of hours at Rough River Lake?

If you're trying to figure out what to do after you've visited Rough River Lake in Kentucky, you're spoiled for choice. Check out Rough River Dam State Resort Park. It's conveniently near the flowing body of water and will give you more insight into the character of this area.
