Located just outside Morehead, Cave Run Lake provides 8,000 acres of open water nestled entirely within the mountains. The lake features two full service marinas and acts as a central hub for sailing, kayaking, and lakeside camping. It is a massive draw for university students and faculty looking to escape to the water after classes.
