Originally constructed for hydroelectrical purposes, Herrington Lake now offers an amazing site for weekend breaks and water-based recreation. Herrington Lake’s picturesque location, combined with its closeness to many Kentucky towns, makes it the ideal place to take an RV rental. Access to the lake with a rental RV is made even easier with Highway 152 running along its southernmost shore. Many campgrounds can be found all over the county, making camping with an RV here simple.
