Cave Run Lake in the Daniel Boone National Forest is Kentucky's premier musky fishery, producing trophy muskellunge that rival those of traditional musky waters in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The forested shoreline and clear water make it one of Kentucky's most scenic lakes.

Musky exceeding 50 inches are caught each year, with the lake record over 47 pounds. The diverse habitat also supports excellent bass fishing and quality crappie fishing in the many coves and creek arms. The remote location in eastern Kentucky's foothills keeps pressure moderate. Multiple Forest Service and state ramps provide access.

Nearest towns: Morehead, Salt Lick, Frenchburg
