LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES HISTORY


TVA recognized the geographical uniqueness of the Kentucky Lakes Area
when Lake Barkley was created in the 1960s. This led to the creation of the
Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area. The first campground,
Rushing Creek Campground, opened in 1964. Over the next four years,
TVA would be relocating thousands of individuals from the 170,000-acre
area to other places.
This meant abolishing the town of Golden Pond, which in 1960 had about
200 residents. Golden Pond was a thriving community located on US 68 in
the middle of LBL. The town was abolished officially in 1969 and people
were moved away. Now, all that remains of Golden Pond is a couple of
roads in LBL. It should be noted that the LBL Visitor's Center and other
facilities list themselves in Golden Pond, but they are not in the actual old
town.
Throughout LBL you will find all sorts of old home sites, old cemeteries,
roads, trails, and historical attractions such as the Great Western Furnace
and the Center Furnace. For more information on LBL's history, visit the
Golden Pond Visitor's Center on US 68.
