User input for Shanty Hollow Lake, Warren County, Kentucky:
I was just at Shanty Hollow lake over the weekend. There has been a lot of improvements made in the parking area at the boat ramp, but they also took out the ''long loop'' and the foundation where the old sportman's club used to be. To get to the waterfall trail, park in the upper parking area (upper and lower no longer connect like they used to), and simply take the trail to the right. There is a quite easy to follow trail, but it does split a few times. However, the splits mere go the high trail, and low trail, going to the same place. The lake spent the last few weeks with nearly 10'' of ice on the surface, and the waterfall froze. It was a truly incredible sights. My batteries gave out before getting to the waterfall, but I pitched a huge stone onto the lakes surface for a picture.

Hi... I was wondering if someone could give me exact directions from bowling green up to the hiking trail with the waterfall(s) at shanty hollow lake. I am from bowling green originally and sadly never spent much time in the area. really want to check it out and camp a night.
Dan:
When are they going to restock the crappie?
David Myers:
I have been going to this lake off and on since I was 7 years old (30 years). The lake is beautiful, but if you take the trail back to the waterfall, it is one of the most beautiful camping places on EARTH. I have camped with 15 people under the rock shelter with room to spare. If you are ever in the area THIS IS SOMETHING EVERY OUTDOORS PERSON SHOULD SEE. In late april or may the wild flowers on the rock formations are AWESOME. This is my favorite meditation place in the world.

I LOVE this lake!!! It is a small impoundment and has an average depth of 26ft. Also this is a spring fed lake and cooler than some of the surrounding waters. It is a stone's throw from Green River and Barren River in North Warren County. Shanty Hollow is a stocked lake with channel catfish in great numbers, blue gill, red ears, and shell crackers aplenty! But... the large mouth bass fishing is awesome! With many fish in the 3-4 lb range and some going over 8 to 10 lbs. I have fished this lake my whole life, in fact my grandmother used to help cut corn from this area before it was flooded in the 1940's. Bank fishing is really not the best way to approach fishing this lake. There is a very strict rule that no powered motors over 10hp be used (I really like that too!) The banks are steep and run deep with tons of dead fall, grass and weed lines and rocks. The lake is stunningly beautiful and not a very high pressured lake.
James:
I like the lake.
Justin Young:
The lake is small but stocked, and the trails are great once you get in deep enough. Fantastic rock formations and water falls.
