Rough River Dam State Resort Park is a Kentucky state park encompassing 637 acres (258 ha) on Rough River Lake in Grayson county.

Rough River Dam of 1959, stretching 1,590 feet (480 m) across and 135 feet (41 m) high, creates Rough River Lake, a recreational lake of approximately 5,100 acres (2,100 ha).

The lake is home to a variety of bass including largemouth, smallmouth, Guadalupe, spotted, white, yellow, and striped bass as well as other game fish, making fishing a significant portion of its tourism.
