Lake Carnico is a 114-acre (0.46 km2) reservoir in Nicholas County, Kentucky. It was constructed in 1962.

[2] Departments such as the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Kentucky Highway Department, and the "Chain of Lakes" state legislation, built a dam and started building properties to surround Lake Carnico. [3] The geography aspect about Lake Carnico is that the water is fresh and the type of fish that live in the lake are Sunfish, Channel Catfish, Flathead and much more. [4] The name of the group of citizens who found Lake Carnico is unknown till this day. [5]
