Taylorsville Lake
|
Located in central Kentucky just 25 miles southeast of Louisville is 3,050 acre Taylorsville Lake. Created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1983 by impoundment of the Salt River, the reservoir provides flood control, quality water storage, fish and wildlife management, and outdoor recreation. The Salt River got its name from the many salt-making operations that once lined the river.
The Corps of Engineers reduces lake levels in winter to prevent flooding in the spring. The Taylorsville Lake drawdown is just two feet, from 547 feet above sea level in summer to 545 feet in winter. This deep water lake is 18.5 miles long with 75 miles of shoreline.
