Cave Run Lake 150 Kentucky Hwy 826 Morehead, KY 40351 Telephone: (606) 784-9709 Office hours: M-F, 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. (may vary, call ahead) Lake Levels Lake Temperatures Welcome to the Cave Run Lake web site. The lake is located within the scenic Eastern Highlands Region of Kentucky and is almost completely surrounded by the northern-most section of the Daniel Boone National Forest. An earth and rockfill dam built across the Licking River created Cave Run Lake. The dam is located near the small community of Farmers, Ky., 10 miles west of Morehead and 60 miles east of Lexington (directions). The 8,270 acre 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. The Corps of Engineers operates and maintains the dam and three day-use recreation areas near the dam. The remaining recreation areas are under the jurisdiction of the Cumberland District of the U.S. Forest Service. The menu on the right leads you to specific recreation and other lake information.
