Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area will close nine wildlife refuges to hunting, fishing, boating and other activities beginning November 1.These closures provide undisturbed resting and feeding areas for waterfowl, shorebirds, and eagles.  To serve this purpose, human activity must be minimized while migratory birds are present.  LBL staff asks for public cooperation with refuge regulations designed to provide needed sanctuary.The wildlife refuges include portions of Duncan Bay, Smith Bay, and Rushing Bay on Kentucky Lake; Fulton and Honker Bays on Lake Barkley; and Long Creek Refuge at the back of Elbow Bay.  These areas are marked with buoys or signs.  Entry is prohibited from Nov. 1 to March 15.  Hematite Lake and Honker Lake, two inland bodies of water, also carry the Nov. 1 to March 15 closure dates for fishing and boating, but the hiking trails around these two lakes remain open to hikers during the refuge period.  The western one-third of Energy Lake is closed as a refuge from Nov. 1 to March 15.  All of Energy Lake and Bards Lake are closed to hunting; however, the eastern two-thirds of Energy Lake and all of Bards Lake remain open to fishing.Hunters should be aware that no hunting is permitted within 150 yards of any LBL facility.
