The Ohio River provides a wide variety of species, including crappie, black and white bass, sunfish, sauger, and catfish.

Hunting & Fishing

Western Kentucky has long been known as a Hunter's Paradise, as Teddy Roosevelt and Daniel Boone testified. We have an abundance of deer, dove, wild turkey, rabbit, squirrel, and other wild game. But despite the abundance, you can still expect a challenge!

The Ohio River provides a wide variety of species, including crappie, black and white bass, sunfish, sager, and catfish. The largemouth bass fishing is outstanding enough to attract several local and national bass tournaments. The angling possibilities are wide enough in numbers and variety to satisfy the most demanding fisherman. For easy access to the river, boat ramps with ample parking are located.
