KY Dept. of Fish & Wildlife: Barren River Below the Dam

This is the upstream view from the Barren River #3 Voluntary Public Access site at the KY 101 Bridge in Warren County. Barren River offers paddlers incredible scenery, highly productive fishing and easy, gentle floating. Visitors can combine a weekend of floating the river and boating on Barren River Lake.

When pioneers first saw the section of south-central Kentucky south and east of what is now Glasgow, the vast grasslands confounded them. They felt the soil too poor to support trees and believed the region barren. The grassy area attracted many bison, elk and deer, and also Native Americans who often hid in the tall grass of these prairies to ambush unsuspecting settlers as well as game.

Another NFL season is upon us. For myself and the other hundreds of millions of fans of professional football the Thursday following Labor Day has become as big a holiday as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
