 Land Between the Lakes is a national recreational area in both the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. It covers 170,000 acres. It's 40 miles long and six to eight miles wide. It was designated as a national recreational area in 1963 by President Kennedy. But this area of both Kentucky and Tennessee was created the same way that Lake Lanier was created. Another story that we covered here on this esoteric explorer series. Because you see in 1944, the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers were impounded to create Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. These two lakes form one of the world's largest man-made bodies of water. And today, this area, this peninsula, that is inland United States, is one of the most lawless areas in the world. There are stories of witches' covens, vampire hotels, and cryptid creatures from the beyond. People go missing here all the time. And as many locals will tell you, even though this is federal land, it's been left to rot. Because it's a peninsula. It's a literal peninsula in the middle of the United States, inland United States. Yes. So this entire green area, this is LBL Land Between the Lakes, which was originally the natives called it Land Between the Rivers. If you can see my cursor here, this is the Cumberland River on this side, which is now Lake Barkley. And then on this side, you have the Tennessee River, which is now Kentucky Lake.
