Cave Run Lake was created by an earth and rockfill dam built across the Licking River by the Louisville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Cave Run Lake is most widely known for its outdoor recreation opportunities, excellent fishing and scenic beauty. However, the lake project was constructed primarily for the purpose of reducing flood damage along the lower Licking River Valley. Cave Run Lake has a surface area measuring 8,270 acres and is about 48 miles in length during the summer months.
