Woodlands Trace National Scenic Byway / Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area

Known as "The Trace" to all the locals, this is the main artery through the 170,000 acres of Land Between The Lakes (LBL), one of the most popular U.S. recreation destinations. Just over the Kentucky state line and the Kentucky Dam, the Tennessee River becomes Kentucky Lake and the Cumberland River becomes Lake Barkley. LBL is tucked between the two, where you'll find the Great Western Furnace, a bison range and The Homeplace living history farm. All three are within 13.2 and 14.2 miles from the turnoff.
