Martins Fork Lake is a reservoir located in the Harlan County of Kentucky. The lake was created in 1979 by the US Army Corps of Engineers to control floodwaters on the Cumberland River. The lake's hydrology is largely influenced by the Cumberland River, with a small portion of the inflow coming from the Martins Fork River. The lake's surface flow is primarily dependent on rainfall and snowpack. Agriculture is not a significant factor in the area, but the lake supports a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and camping. The lake is home to several species of fish, including bass, crappie, and catfish, making it a popular destination for anglers. Overall, Martins Fork Lake provides a valuable source of water for the surrounding communities and serves as a popular recreational destination.
