The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources regulates boat docks and shoreline uses for 11 department-owned lakes it manages through a permit system.
Department officials are planning to recommend amending these permit regulations for its lakes and will hold a series of public meetings to explain the current system and seek public input on potential changes. Permits are necessary to construct a boat dock or encroach upon the department-owned buffer zones around these state-owned lakes.
