After the Great Flood of 1937, Congress authorized the Tennessee Valley Authority to purchase land in order to provide flood control and power generation in the Tennessee and Cumberland River valleys of Kentucky. This project would eventually result inKentucky Lake,Lake Barkley, and theLand Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. The land now occupied by the park was part of this land purchase.
