Beaver Lake, lake in Anderson County, Kentucky, United States
Beaver Lake is a reservoir in Anderson County, Kentucky, created by damming Beaver Creek near Lawrenceburg. The 146-acre body of water features a mix of open water and wooded shoreline, with a large fishing pier and boat ramp providing access to the lake.
The lake opened to the public in 1964 and has served as a fishing destination ever since. Management efforts intensified starting in 2011, introducing habitat improvements and regular fish stocking to maintain healthy populations.
The lake takes its name from Beaver Creek, the stream that was dammed to create it. Today it serves as a gathering place for local fishermen and families seeking a quiet outdoor retreat from nearby towns.
The boat ramp and fishing pier are free to use with ample parking available. Small motorboats under 10 horsepower can operate at normal speeds, while larger motors are restricted to slow-speed operation to protect the shoreline and water quality.
The lake uses an online map that shows anglers exactly where habitat structures like brush piles and submerged trees are positioned throughout the water. This tool helps fishermen locate productive spots and understand how the lake is actively managed for better fishing.
