LBL Turkey Bay OHV Area

It has been disputed how Turkey Bay in the Land Between the Lakes got it's name. Some say it is the wild turkeys that roam through LBL. We respectfully disagree --- we think it's the turkeys on the four-wheelers!

Alright, so it was a bad joke. But the Turkey Bay Off-Highway Vehicle Area is most certainly not! LBL's OHV area is located on the Trace about 2 miles south of US 68 and is situated on Kentucky Lake and Turkey Bay. The area is over 2,500 acres - that's right - 2,500 acres of nothing but trails, ridiculously steep grades and a whole lot of fun. There are even trails for Jeeps, Range Rovers, and other all-terrain vehicles. One of LBL's hottest attractions, all OHV enthusiasts that know Turkey Bay agree that it is a prime destination for off-roadin'. You can even camp there!

It is strongly encouraged you find out about any trail closures before heading over to Turkey Bay. Please visit the official website of LBL's Turkey Bay OHV Area for fees, trail closures, and rules and regulations.
