When the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers were impounded to
create Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, an inland peninsula was
formed. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy designated the peninsula
Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area in an effort to
demonstrate how an area with limited timber, agricultural and
industrial resources could be converted into a recreation asset that
would stimulate economic growth in the region.
