Greenbo Lake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greenbo Lake is a man-made lake nestled in the Appalachian foothills of Greenup County, Kentucky. Its distinctive name derives from the combination of the names of the county it is located in and an adjacent county, Boyd County. In 1955, residents of the two counties desired to create a recreation attraction in their area, so they dammed three local streams to form the 225 acre lake. The lake, known as a wonderful spot for largemouth bass, is located within Greenbo Lake State Resort Park. The park, covering more than 3,000 acres (12 km²), features camping, fishing, boating, dining and golf, as well as scenic trails for biking and hiking.
