The Buckhorn dam, lake, and campground are located on Route 1387, which begins at the intersection of Routes 28 and 2022 in Buckhorn and ends in the water of Buckhorn Lake a mile away. The 1020-foot long dam rises 162 feet above the original stream bed and was constructed under the direction of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE or “Corps”), Louisville District. Ground was broken for the dam on September 29, 1956 and the dam was dedicated September 10, 1960.
