Overview
A brief introduction to Fishtrap Lake
In rich coalfield country, steep mountains surround the project area.
Fishtrap Lake is a 1,130-acre (5 km2) reservoir in Pike County, Kentucky. Dedicated by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968, the lake was formed by the impounding of the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River at the 195-foot-high Fishtrap Dam (37°25′55″N 82°24′55″W) by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
It is the primary attraction of Fishtrap Lake State Park.
