Narrow and winding, the lake's scenic cliffs range from 30 to 200 feet high above the lake surface. The magnificently sculptured cliffs have a smooth, contoured surface enhanced by centuries of weathering. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers directly manages 643 acres at the dam site, which includes recreation facilities listed below. A marina, operated by a private concessionaire, is located at the dam site. The Corps of Engineers operates an office and information center at the Damsite Recreation Area. They may be contacted at (606) 474-5701 for information on water safety & shelter reservations or for tours of the Environmental Nature Study Field, Nature Trail, and Intake Structure.
