Confirmed via: Official / tourism listing
Bullitt County Tourism lists it as a local pay lake, formerly Gilbert's Pay Lake, that stocks channel cats and big fish. The lake's own Facebook page describes it the same way and says it is under new ownership and management. Lower confidence on current status: the newest dated operator post we could read is from Feb. 2025, and reviews from May 2025 mention dead fish and a broken aerator.
