Swimming
Land Between the Lakes has two designated swimming areas located in Hillman Ferry and Piney Campgrounds which are only open to campers at those facilities.
For lake access, visit our basic campgrounds, camping areas, and dispersed shoreline access on Kentucky or Barkley Lakes. Many of the areas have picnic tables and campfire rings.
