Beautiful Kentucky Lake Wall Map

Not long ago, I finished an overall map of Kentucky Lake that includes Lake Barkley and Land Between the Lake.

If you look closely, you may find a tourist town named Grand Rivers, which is between Lake Barkley on the Cumberland River and Kentucky Lake on the Tennessee River. This little town is becoming a destination with shops, restaurants and even entertainment.  

A great place to eat in Grand Rivers is Patti's an 1880's themed restaurant. It started in 1977 and has grown into the top tourist restaurant destination in Kentucky. Try their specialty, pork chops. I have had them and they're great.

Patti's is a unique and interesting place with not only a restaurant, but many shops to discover. Check it out at: http://www.pattis-settlement.com/index.htm. Also, near Grand Rivers is Green Turtle Bay Marina and Resort located on the waters of Lake Barkley. Its a good place to launch a boat or have dinner.

Absolutely Perfect!

What are some of the things that you never expected? Well for me, when I started painting maps four years ago, I never expected to receive so many wonderful comments. A customers emailed this comment about my Leo Lake Treasured Maps just a few days ago. I normally get 1-3 great comments a week. Certainly makes you feel good!

"Thank you so much Larry! We received it yesterday and it is beautiful! Absolutely perfect!"

A Special Lake

A monster lives here, Santa travels over during Christmas, a meteorite created a huge bay in this lake, what lake is this? Reindeer Lake!

I've been working on a custom map of Reindeer Lake in Saskatchewan Canada for Arctic Lodges. Before I paint a lake map, I do a little research to become familiar with the area. 

Boy, did I find some interesting stuff about this area. I found this to be a really cool and captivating place. First off, Arctic Lodge has been around for a long time, in fact since 1950. It has some of the top fishing in Canada and has first class accommodations. 

Reindeer Lake is located in the northeast of Saskatchewan and is a big lake, 140 miles long and 37 miles wide. The lake has over 5,000 islands of all sizes to explore. Amazingly, in Deep Bay Crater where a meteorite hit 140 million years ago, the water depth is 720 feet deep. Oh yeah, local legend has it that a monster lives in the bay and pulls animals through the ice during winter. No ice fishing for me! 

Did you know that NORAD use to track Santa's trip across North America and Reindeer Lake was a featured location on Christmas Night as Santa flew over.

What makes Arctic Lodge and Reindeer Lake so special? There are so many reasons, trophy sized fish, natural beauty, great accommodations, remote location, deep bay crater, monster legend and so much more. Learn more information here arcticlodges.com.

A lake with a fascinating feature!

I've been painting a lake with a most fascinating feature. A meteor crashed into the earth 100 million year ago and created this huge bay. Wow, the bay measures 8 miles in diameter and 720 feet deep. You can see it from the section of map below. When I finish the map, I will post more neat stuff about this lake.
