About this water

Herrington Lake is Kentucky's deepest lake at over 249 feet, formed by Dix Dam on the Dix River, and is renowned for exceptional largemouth bass and walleye fishing. The lake's deep, clear water and rocky structure provide ideal habitat for trophy bass and walleye year-round. The Dix Dam area is a particularly productive access point for bank and boat anglers targeting deep-water species.
