The London Ranger District provides some of Kentucky's best outdoor recreation opportunities. Laurel River Lake is among favorite attractions.

Visitors enjoy trails, campgrounds and picnic areas in a scenic forest setting. Two state-designated Kentucky Wild Rivers - the Cumberland River and Rockcastle River - flow through the area below rugged, cliff-lined slopes.
