165+/- Acres Adjoining U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Land at Grayson Lake Discover approximately 165 acres of Eastern Kentucky wilderness in the scenic Gimlet Creek area of Carter County.

Predominantly wooded, the tract offers a diverse landscape of rolling ridges, deep hollows, seasonal drainages, natural benches, and elevations ranging from approximately 660 feet to nearly 1,000 feet.

Topographic features throughout the property include ridge tops, saddles, draws, and natural travel corridors that experienced hunters recognize as prime wildlife movement areas. The adjoining Corps of Engineers property further enhances hunting opportunities by providing a substantial undeveloped buffer and additional surrounding habitat. Located near Grayson Lake and within reasonable driving distance of Cave Run Lake, Interstate 64, Morehead, Olive Hill, and Grayson, this property combines seclusion with accessibility.
