Waypoints for Kentucky Lake
Submitted by David A. McClung
Waypoints start at the dam and generally work south. Points for creeks and rivers (Big Bear Creek, Jonathan Creek, Blood River, Big Sandy River, and Leatherwood Creek) off the main lake are with main-lake locations for that section. Each line starts with the waypoint name, then Lat/Lon, the time the waypoint was created, and finally a description of the waypoint. Note that the naming convention used is that the first letter of the lake name is the first letter of the waypoint. All points here are named “K?????”. This keeps all of the Kentucky Lake points together in my receiver.
Duplicate names: There are at least two Jones Creeks. The one just north of Blood River is named KJONES and the one in Big Sandy River is named KBJONE. There is also a Jones Hollow named KJONEH. The two Trace Creeks are named KBTRAC in Big Sandy River, and KTRACE for the one on the south end of the lake. There is also an Opossum Hollow in Leatherwood Creek named KOPOSH and an Opossum Creek at the south end of the lake named KOPOSC.
With some modifications you can load this file directly into your receiver. If you have loaded files from your receiver to your computer, view this file in a text editor and the translation of these points to a compatible file for your receiver should be straightforward. Email me if you have questions.
The points are generally in the water, just off of the topographical feature indicated. The waypoints will help you know where you are on the lake. Extreme CAUTION should be used when navigating to the points. USE THIS INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK! Expected accuracy of the waypoints is about 200 feet. Would appreciate any feedback you can give me on the waypoints. Email inquiries to dmcclung@arlut.utexas.edu.
I don’t know much about fishing Kentucky Lake, but understand that the Big Bear Creek area and the first mile of Blood River off the main lake are good areas. There are also some good bluffs on the lake such as Cedar Bluff and Pine Bluff if you like fishing rock walls.
