Hightop Boat Ramp
Hightop Boat Ramp is located along the southern shoreline of Laurel River Lake. The quiet coves and cliff-lined shores offer relaxation and calm reflection, while the more adventurous can find excellent opprtunties to boat, fish, water ski and scuba dive in one of Kentucky's deepest and cleanest lakes. Fishing is not allowed from the boat ramp, but once you are in the water, you will find a wide variety of fish species including black bass, rainbow trout, walleye, crappie, blue gill and catfish. Night fishing for trout is also popular during the summer months. Swimming or sunbathing within 100 feet of any boat launch ramp or courtesy boat dock is prohibited for public safety. The site has parking, signage, trash collection and security lighting.
