Rough River

It's located about 70 miles southwest of Louisville, and flows through Breckinridge, Hardin, Grayson, and Ohio counties.

Rough River has an immense amount of terrestrial wildlife, which includes amphibians, mammals, and birds.

[4] Cotton-tail rabbit, gray squirrels, fox, muskrat, woodchuck, raccoon and skunk are a few of the mammals seen at this lake.

Near streams you can find sycamore, red maple, birch, hemlock, hackberry, and sweet gum trees.

In other areas near the dam, the space has been maintained in mowed grass as well as being developed for recreational use (tourism) and access to the tailwater and stilling basin.

The lake includes the 29.5-mile-long (47.5 km)[1] North Fork of Rough River,[8] which flows for its entire length in Breckinridge County.
