The mission of The Friends of Barren River Lake & Park (FOBRLP) is “Conservation, Communication, Education.” First chartered in 1987 as the Barren River Regional Water Safety Council, these non-profit organization partners with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kentucky State Parks, Kentucky Fish & Wildlife, local governments, and other non-profit organizations to provide a platform for all interested individuals surrounding Barren River Lake. The FOBRLP works to promote water safety through public education campaigns, support environmental education and programs through its partner agencies, and provide annual events for the recreating public.
