Herrington Lake Information

If you’re thinking of lake homes for sale in Kentucky, keep Herrington Lake in mind. Herrington Lake is situated in Garrard, Mercer, and Boyle Counties and is the state’s deepest lake, reaching a maximum depth of 249 feet. Herrington Lake boasts many achievements, but is perhaps best known for being a recreation wonderland year-round.

Herrington Lake is continually stocked with catfish, crappie, and bluegill, along with white, spotted, largemouth, and hybrid bass. Because of the abundance of fish and the varied expanse of the lake itself, Herrington Lake is noted for hosting some of the best reservoir fishing in Kentucky. If you’re looking to hunt your fish of choice in deeper waters, head toward the historic Dix Dam. With 2,335 acres of surface water to fish on, your angling skills are sure to be tested and rewarded!

The Dix River feeds Herrington Lake, which is 35 miles long. Given that the lake is so grand in scale, it’s no wonder that it has long been a haven for recreation opportunities. Fuel and launch your boat from the Herrington Lake Marina, the lake’s largest full-service marina. You can also rent a kayak or boat there to explore the far corners of the lake. Lake properties for sale sit in the midst of all the fun and adventure to be had on and off the water. In addition to tubing, swimming, and water skiing, many indulge the daredevil within by cliff jumping into the lake. You might also lay out on any of its sun-soaked beaches for the afternoon or meander your way across the lake’s 325 miles of shoreline.

Indulge your competitive side on the links at any of Herrington Lake’s neighboring golf courses. The state of Kentucky hosts more than 300 public and private courses, and lake-view properties are well within comfortable driving distance from many of them. The Peninsula Golf Resort serves up pristine bent grass greens and luscious Bermuda fairways for players to appreciate. Similarly, check out any number of the Kentucky State Park Golf Trail’s nineteen courses any time of year for a stunning game. If you’d like to live on a Herrington Lake golf course, please visit GolfHomes.com for property listings.

Besides its iconic bluegrass, Kentucky is known for its world-renowned bourbon and its celebrated equestrian tradition. Experience both firsthand when you leave the lake and hit the road. Travel through the heart of Kentucky Bourbon country, hopping from one prized distillery to the next. Along the way, follow mile upon mile of handsome fences to the real action, where legendary training and racing facilities house some of the nation’s finest four-legged athletes. With so much to do, see, and savor at Herrington Lake, your hardest decision to make may be deciding where to begin the adventure!

Just south of Lexington, the 1,860 acres of Herrington Lake supply plenty of spring crappie action. This narrow, winding lake is in Mercer, Boyle and Garrard counties, and for anglers who take the time to locate the prime crappie habitat, there are plenty of crappie for the taking. During warm spells in March, these tasty panfish can be found in shallow cover in coves near areas where creeks enter the lake. Much natural cover is present in such locations. This is a lake of clear, deep water with steep walls. The coves provide anglers with excellent crappie numbers at this time of year, despite the clarity of the water.

Persistence and patience are the recommended approaches to crappie fishing at Herrington. Searching out submerged logs, trees, stumps and other crappie cover in addition to the cove areas of the lake will increase the odds of casting into crappie thickets.

Other good locations are the docks scattered around the lake. Artificial jigs that are white or chartreuse are reported to produce excellent results in the coves as well as near the dock covers, and a long casting reel with 4-pound-test line can haul in the crappie with few problems.
