**Location & Access:** Bert Combs Lake is located east of Manchester in Clay County, Kentucky. The boat ramp can be accessed via Highway 3432 (Beech Creek Road)—look for the turnoff near the water filtration plant. The site includes a dedicated boat ramp and parking area.
**Boating Rules & Recreation:** This 31-acre lake prohibits internal combustion motors, making it an ideal destination for kayakers, canoeists, and those with electric-motor boats. The calm, motor-free conditions are well-suited for peaceful paddling and fishing. The lake supports various fish species, offering recreational fishing opportunities alongside paddling activities.
**What to Bring:** Since the lake is relatively small and restricted to non-motorized and electric vessels, expect a quiet paddling environment. Bring standard safety equipment including a personal flotation device (PFD), which is recommended for all paddlers. Check local fishing regulations if you plan to fish during your visit.
