Dispersed site nestled in and surrounded by tall pines with lake access.

Duncan Lake is a small inland Lake located in the Kentucky portion of LBL.  The campsite area is located at the end then up around the corner of the first of two access roads to the lake. There is a small boat ramp not far from the site. It is close enough to carry kayaks back and forth. The lake is small and shallow except near the outlet. Great for paddling around and doing some fishing. We have seen bald eagles  both times we camped. There is also a beaver community on the lake, they might give you a tail slap on the water if you get to close.

 There are enough level spots to accommodate 3 or 4 tents. There is a stone fire ring and that is abut it.

It is a popular bird watching area and  both times we camped there were people that used the lake each time. The boat ramp is just far enough away from the camp site that it really didn't affect us at all. If there is a breeze it sounds really nice as it blows through the tall pines. 

We generally bring our bikes and do a loop from the camp to the Nature centre and back. 

The Lake is closed from Nov. 1 through March 15 to protect wintering waterfowl. no camping or access at all.
