If you’re looking for lake homes for sale, set your sights on Nolin Lake in South Central Kentucky. Reflecting over 200 years of rich American history and culture, Nolin Lake not only showcases some of the state’s most spectacular scenery, but also echoes the actions and influences of the region’s earliest settlers.
The lake’s own name captures an interesting moment in time, when American explorer Benjamin Lynn found himself lost in the area. For days, his search team was forced to report “no Lynn,” until he was finally reunited with his friends. Today, Nolin Lake is known more for the many recreational activities it offers on its distinctive blue/green waters. Anglers know these waters well, casting their rods for walleye, bass, catfish, and crappie. In fact, many anglers choose to fish under the cover of nightfall or head upstream to Sportsman’s Paradise for prime walleye action. With 5,795 acres of surface water to explore and savor, anglers of all skill levels look forward to baiting their hooks on the lake.
Nolin Lake spans across Edmonson, Grayson, and Hart Counties, and it is only 95 miles from Louisville. Lake properties for sale enjoy full access to the area’s numerous marinas, campsites, and accommodations. In addition to swimming, boating, and jet skiing, many water revelers take to their canoes and kayaks to really experience the scenic side of Nolin Lake. Such lake explorations put you in close proximity to Mammoth Cave National Park and all its natural wonders. Even from the shoreline, lakefront properties share in the region’s stunning topography.
Dry off on one of Nolin Lake’s sandy beaches and spend a fun day at any of the lake’s 32 campsites. Each one is slightly different and offers a unique perspective of the scenery. Claim your own piece of the wild while hiking a local trail, or focus all your concentration on the bull’s eye during a proper archery match. Several area golf courses even combine the love of nature and the love of the game, having players tee off against a backdrop of classic Nolin Lake landscapes.
