Sorry, the place I mentioned (Fisherman's) is strictly bank access. I'm not sure what you consider "the Louisville area," but there aren't really many places close to put in a boat, period. I guess Lake Jericho is probably the closest fishin' hole with lily pads that I can think of, but the fishing there isn't great. They have pictures of big fish at the shed where you pay to get in, but sometimes I wonder if they were really caught there. The only thing of any size I ever hooked into there was a snapping turtle. It's also a very small lake, more suited to jon boats than anything else. No wake the entire lake, and extremely shallow at the opposite end from the dam. On the up side, it is scenic, and the have a nice little campground there.
