Kentucky Geological Survey James C. Cobb, State Geologist and Director UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON Licking River Basin Mouth of the Licking at the Ohio River Riv er -84.5o Oh io Fort Thomas Newport Nearly 9,600 miles of streams flow through the Licking River Basin’s 3,700 square miles in 22 counties. From a hill in southern Magoffin County 1,600 feet above sea level, the Licking River runs northwest down to the Ohio River at 448 feet above sea level. The underlying rocks in the basin are, in general, dominated by shale. This creates a large number of perennial streams in the basin and provides a foundation for ponds and lakes, but also limits the potential for water wells. There are 29,000 acres of wetlands in the basin. Residents draw about 24 million gallons of water per day (mgd) from streams and reservoirs in the basin. On average, about 2,770 mgd flow into the Ohio, but about once every 10 years, only 2 mgd will flow at the mouth for a week. This variability in flow affects water users and stream life. More than 550 miles of assessed streams in the basin do not support designated uses for warm-water aquatic habitat or primary contact recreation. Not all streams have been assessed. The percentage of assessed streams not supporting uses was: warm-water aquatic habitat (45%); primary contact recreation (68%). Nearly 100 miles of streams have been declared special use waters: either, cold water aquatic habitat, exceptional waters, reference reach waters, or outstanding state resource waters. There are five remediation priority watersheds including 430 square miles: primary impacts are pathogens, nutrients, and siltation. There are many communities just outside the perimeter of the Basin that discharge treated wastewater into the basin, and may impact the Basin in other ways. For this reason, they are shown on the map. ¬ « 9 Southgate M L Fort Fort Wright Mitchell Lakeside Park Crestview 275 Hills Highland Heights Wilder § ¦ ¨ 275 12 " ) L M Taylor MIll Edgewood 39o 9 Fairview L M 25 # * Cold Spring « M¬ L U T V 39o Elsmere £ ¤ Erlanger 25 Cr 05100101290 58.1 Latonia Lakes lic k £ ¤VTU 27 Ba § ¦ ¨ 75 U T V Independence ¬ « 05100101270 75.97 17 U T V Alexandria 915 ¬ « 536 U T U T T V VV U V U T U T V U T UV T V U T VV U T U T V U T V If you sit high in the stands at a Cincinnati Reds game, you can look across the Ohio River down the throat of the Licking River Valley.

The lake provides flood control and recreation. The recreation pool is 8,270 acres and 48.1 miles long, lined by rounded hills known as The Knobs. Below the dam lies the Minor E. Clark Fish Hatchery, one of the largest state-owned, warm-water fish hatcheries in the country. Three to 4 million bass, muskellunge, and walleye fingerlings from the hatchery are released every year into Kentucky lakes, rivers, and suitable streams. 19.82 U T V 1,301–1,400 Basin Location Birthplace of the Licking River Bluegrass Hills Terrain A.J.
