'''Grayson Lake''' is a {{convert|1500|acre|km2|1|adj=on}} [[reservoir]] in [[Carter County, Kentucky|Carter]] and [[Elliott County, Kentucky|Elliott]] counties in [[Kentucky]]. It was created by the [[United States Army Corps of Engineers]] in 1968 by impounding the [[Little Sandy River (Kentucky)|Little Sandy River]]<ref name=kye>{{cite book |editor=Kleber, John E. |others=Associate editors: [[Thomas D. Clark]], Lowell H. Harrison, and James C. Klotter |title=''The Kentucky Encyclopedia'' |year=1992 |publisher=The University Press of Kentucky |location=[[Lexington, Kentucky]] |isbn=0-8131-1772-0 |chapter=Lakes}}</ref> with the '''Grayson Dam''', an earthen structure {{convert|120|feet}} high, creating a maximum capacity of {{convert|118,990|acre feet}}. Sections of [[Kentucky Route 7]] were re-routed as a result of the lake's creation. KY 7 now traverses a modern highway stretch around the park, crossing the dam also.<br />
<br />
The lake is the major attraction of [[Grayson Lake State Park]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://parks.ky.gov/findparks/recparks/gl/ |title=Grayson Lake State Park |publisher=Kentucky Department of Parks |date=2005-10-10 |access-date=2007-02-17 |archive-date=2007-07-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070705110842/http://parks.ky.gov/findparks/recparks/gl/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
