The lakes
Rough River Lake covers about 5,100 acres in Grayson, Breckinridge and Hardin Counties. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers puts its dam about 20 miles from Leitchfield.² The Corps keeps the lake lower in fall and winter ("winter pool"), so look at lake property in more than one season.
Nolin River Lake is about 5,795 acres in Edmonson, Grayson and Hart Counties.³
Shoreline rules: the Corps manages shoreline use through permits under each lake's Shoreline Management Plan. Don't assume a dock or path to the water is allowed. Ask us to check, or call the Rough River project office at (270) 257-2061.

Prices: what we can and can't tell you here
The Census Bureau's survey estimate of the median value of owner-occupied homes in Grayson County is $164,600 (ACS 2020–2024).¹ That's a five-year survey of what owners said their homes were worth. It's not a current sale price. Lake-area and acreage properties can differ a lot from in-town homes. See the live market trends at the bottom of this page and ask us for recent comparable sales.
