Barren River Lake

Description:

Barren River Lake is the site for the 2001 International (Scottish) Highland Games (the Glasgow Highland Games are held annually at the State Resort Park). The Lake area has many federally protected Native American village and burial sites. The river was the historic route for westward traveling pioneers. They would travel down the Barren River to a trading post at present-day Bowling Green, Kentucky, where their journey would proceed by land.
