Golden Pond, KY , 42211 Phone: 1-270-924-2000 Website Land Between the Lakes (LBL) is located Half way between Nashville and Paducah KY. It sits between two of the biggest man made lakes in the country. Formally Land Between the Rivers until the dams were replaced in the 60s as part of a flood control project by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Once the dams went in the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers in this section became Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. The park has Bison and Elk herds, a nature station, motorcycle trails, horse trails, planetarium, foundry sites, and an 1850's old home. It starts in Paris TN and goes north along the "Trace" about 60 miles to Grand Rivers KY.

There is a second machine located right next to the first one with the designs from the North Visitors Center. I do not know if they moved the machine from that location or if it is a different machine. I will try and find out on my next visit. --DKT |
