It was constructed in 1962.[1] The name Lake Carnico came alive from a name contest that was held by Charles Cox from July 27,1961 to August 5, 1961. [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.
