Hugh:
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.

If you are traveling by, why not stop by Shanty Hollow Lake. Shanty Hollow Lake is a wet place that gets a lot of rain; of all the months in a year March is the one with the most rain, and the driest of the months is October. Don't leave Shanty Hollow Lake without first going for a hike along the Echo River Spring Trail, and if you're looking for a good visit, Mammoth Cave National Park is relatively near. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this location. Continental

This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Gasper River, and Shanty Hollow Lake is brilliant enough to spend more than a day at, Seven Springs Park Restaurant is a brilliant local campground.

After a long day outdoors
Value Lodge is a splendid site to spend a night or two. There's so much to do here at Shanty Hollow Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Beech Bend Family Campground is a magnificent location for that. Bear Creek is a brilliant place to visit, as expected you could also go to Raymer Lake since you're here; it's not far at all.
