Laurel is a small lake, if you have a boat motor and can make short runs I say go with Grove or Hollybay. Its worth it if you still have your catalytic converter at the end of the day. I had to learn the hard way in that area.

Knock on wood, I've not had any problems at Marsh Branch, but I have saw some shady characters there when coming in to take out in the middle of the night. I wouldn't leave my truck and trailer at night at Flatwoods if you paid me. I always put in at Grove when I fish that side of the lake and run to where I want to fish.

Where or should I say Who ...does this "parking money" go too???? $30.00 that is unreal!!!!....I've never paid that much to "park" anywhere in my life...to go fishing! I don't think you have to pay that much at Disney World to park!! Now that folks is "white colar" crime at it's best! You can't give me one good reason why a tax paying American would pay 30.00 to park at a lake..to go fishing!. I was planning on a nice three day camping trip to Laurel Lake in May??? I just refuse to pay that much to park my truck and trailer there...is it that much at Holly Bay as well? Is it 30.00 a day???....It's been a long time sence I've been there....30.00!!!!! that is nuts

$30 is for a yearly parking pass. You can get a one day pass for $3. Or, you can put in at Craigs Creek ramp which is very close to Holly Bay without a pass. But be careful if you leave your truck overnight there.

Oh...yea, OK...I have heard of the $30 parking pass for ...what most lakes in Ky. now; I guess I just jumped the gun a little?? That is different...even though not to thrilled over that as well. That makes more sence though.....I hope I never catch somebody breaking into my stuff....it would get real ugly fast. The law ought to set up some "stings"...some "dummy trucks" to catch these thieves!Originally Posted by HydraBlade

The $30 pass for Laurel is from the Forest Service, and will only work at lakes where parking is administered by the Forest Service. The pass for Laurel can't be used at Cumberland or any other lake where it is administered by the Corps of Engineers. Just 1 more way to get money...

It does work on other Forest Service lakes at least. You can use an annual pass on Cave Run for example. And not to take a side but its not that high to be fair. $30 is the annual pass its like $3 a day or something. Its still cheaper than most lake ramps these days. Many are $5 a day. I have seen some up to $8 and some are more.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it is a small price to pay to enjoy a day on the water. I just wish, along with others, that they would use some of the money to increase lighting at the ramps on Laurel that currently don't have much.

Hey thanks for the info, looks like I will try Marsh during the day and Holly for night fishing.

Yep, he is right in the last week there have been 6 trucks missing cats at Marsh Branch seems they only get the ones from outside the area. I wouldnt park there in the day time a couple were hit on day trips.
Very obviously a group workin the lake Im sure locals know who they are.
The sherriff's office seems to justify it by citing the lack of jobs in the area.
Junior Member
Leave a one step meth lab next to your truck and I bet they'll take that and leave your cat alone. Just a suggestion.

What is up with the hillbilly's around Laurel Lake? This crap has been happening for years now. It shouldnt be to hard to monitor the very few ramps that the lake has.
