Hunting & Fishing
Monroe County offers abundant opportunities for fisherman, in the Cumberland River where a new boat ramp is now open near the Cumberland Ferry on Hwy. 214, as well as in Barren River and Tompkinsville’s City Lake. Both Dale Hollow Lake and Barren River Lake are located nearby, offering a wide variety of water sports.
Area woodlands are a hunter’s paradise, with deer, turkey, squirrel, rabbit and dove among the abundant game.
For more information regarding licenses, seasons and regulations, contact the Kentucky Department for Fish and Wildlife Resources.
