Information Services
An important aspect of our mission is assisting
visitors with learning more about Land Between The Lakes National
Recreation Area. A part of this includes sharing information about
LBL and its environs.
We provide service to the visiting public at
6 locations of Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area. We
greet and orient the public, provide LBL and regional information, and
make LBL user permits available to the visitors.

service answers questions from persons from both far away and near.
Questions include hours of operation, cost of admission, availability of
services, Planetarium program discussion, and other such visitor related

environmental education as well as other educational opportunities at LBL.
