Template:Geobox Protected Area Rough River Dam State Resort Park is a Kentucky state park encompassing 637 acres (258 ha)[1] on Rough River Lake in Grayson county.

Rough River Dam of 1959, stretching 1,590 feet (480 m) across and 135 feet (41 m) high, creates Rough River Lake, a recreational lake of approximately 5,100 acres (2,100 ha).[2]

The lake is home to a variety of bass including largemouth, smallmouth, Guadalupe, spotted, white, yellow, and striped bass as well as other game fish, making fishing a significant portion of its tourism.[3][4]
