With over 200 miles of shore line, the natural beauty of crystal clear Laurel Lake lies safely protected in the Daniel Boone National Forest where the water is pristine and the fisshing is great. With depths up to 360 feet, trout fisshing is also a favorite. Seven launch ramps provide access to the lake. Two full service marinas are Holly Bay and Grove Marina.
