Overview
Kentucky Lake is the largest reservoir east of the Mississippi River by surface area, a roughly 160,300-acre impoundment of the Tennessee River spanning western Kentucky and Tennessee. It was created when the Tennessee Valley Authority completed Kentucky Dam near Gilbertsville, Kentucky, forming the lowermost and largest of TVA's mainstem reservoirs.
