Prestonsburg is located in the Mountain and Creek Bottom area that has high, rocky, and forested mountain ridges, which are unused by highways and farms, and its rivers and creek bottoms, where the roads and homes are located. Prestonsburg's climate is temperate. The climate elements of sunlight, heat, moisture, and winds are all in moderation without prolonged extremes. Rainfall is abundant and fairly regular through- out the year. Warm-to-cool 1eather prevails with only short periods / of extreme heat and cold.

  • Are You Suprised ?
    Transportation Observations, Considerations, and Recommendations for Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area Provided by the Interagency Transportation Assistance Group (TAG) Golden Pond, KY July 22-25, 2008 A field investigation of the current transportation infrastructure and issues at Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area (LBL) by the interagency Transportation Assistance Group (TAG) was conducted July 22-25, 2008, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USFS). This TAG report was prepared subsequent to the site visit and documents the conditions observed, transportation issues and considerations, and recommendations arising from the TAG team’s analysis. The Federal Lands Alternative Transportation Systems Study*, a report sponsored jointly by the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration and completed in 2003, assessed alternative transportation feasibility at LBL. The study concluded that there were multiple alternative transportation strategies which showed *Field Report: Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.

Consequently, USFS staff applied in 2006 for a planning grant from the Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands (ATPPL) program, now called the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in the Parks Program. That application was unsuccessful, motivating USFS to convene a TAG at LBL to assess the potential for alternative transportation and to recommend next steps. Background and Existing Conditions Overview Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area encompasses an area of approximately 170,310 acres of wildlife, history, and outdoor recreation opportunities, surrounded by more than 300 miles of undeveloped shoreline.
