Fishpond Lake
Fish Pond Lake is a pristine man-made lake, located one mile west of Payne Gap off U.S. 119 in Jenkins, KY. Once the site of a mining camp, the valley was dammed and flooded in 1961 to create this shining centerpiece of the 895-acre Little Laurel Park. Now it is beautiful crystal clear lake with with RV slots, primitive camping and shelters that makes it perfect for a family day out or vacation.
The lake is home to freshwater jellyfish, a resident trout population, bass, catfish and other Kentucky species. Petroleum-powered boat engines are prohibited, but at 45 acres, the lake is small enough for boaters to traverse easily with electric motors or oars.
Fishpond lake is also home to nearly 20 miles of incredible and adventure packed ATV trails that are managed and maintained by First Frontier Appalachian Trails! Around Fishpond you can find different ATV access points. Pictured below is a map defining the trail. You’ll find the paved driving trail in red and the off-road trail in green.
Every year, due to inclement weather, Fishpond rentals are not available between November 1st - February 28th. Visit the link below to make your reservations.
