KENTUCKY LAKE
Welcome to the Official Branding Site of
The South's Great Lake
By our community becoming unified under a common brand, we have strength in numbers. Kentucky Lake is already nationally recognized and advertised. Now let us BECOME Kentucky Lake. Immediately your business or organization will be associated with a nationally recognized geographic locator. Then we are tagging this location with “The South’s Great Lake” which taps a new advertising market. Your business or organization can reap the benefits of the Kentucky Lake advertising already in place. We will be helping each other better our businesses and lives.
Creating a sense of unity and teamwork within our community not only makes our community stronger, but it allows us to combine our assets and share ideas for the progress of the entire community. By the great folks of this county working together toward a common vision, we can become that place everyone wants to call home.
Your Lake. “The South’s Great Lake!"
