Anyone know any good carp spots?

Does anyone know any good spots to fish for carp within an hour drive of Louisville? I used to fish the Salt River when I was a kid and I caught some big carp. That's what got me hooked on fishing. I'm trying to get my 12 year old son into fishing and I'm hoping a big carp may do it.

Taylorsville Lake has a bunch of them in the upper end. That's basically the Salt River, though.

Is there lake access to the good carp fishing ?? What about the Van Buren ramp??

The Van Buren ramp is close to where I saw them, but they were hanging out in water that was only 1-2ft deep. Not real sure that's navigable for most boats.

A few years ago, I waded Harrod's Creek and carp is all I saw. I was fishing either where it passes under 329 or 393; I don't remember which. But I think it was 393 because I remember driving past horse farms to get there.

There are a few large ones in Tom Wallace lake right there in Jefferson County... last time i was bass fishin there saw 6 or 8 of em all up in the shallow end .... water is really clear so they are easliy spooked,,
