Not a state forest?
[edit]I'm having trouble finding information about this as a "state forest". The official KY state forest webpage does NOT list it: [1] The article at Dewey Lake covers the property. There are a lot of "areas" and surrounding/attached properties which mention Dewey Lake but none mentioning a 7,353-acre forest or use the term "forest" or "state forest" in conjunction with "Dewey Lake". The original citation is brief.
There is, however, something called "Dewey Lake Wildlife Management Area" which is probably what was "meant" by "state forest" when someone wrote the wiki article. Ref: [2] Quotes: "The WMA surrounds most of the shoreline of Dewey Lake. 6 miles east of Prestonsburg on KY 194. Extremely steep and rugged; forested, primarily in hardwoods, with scattered openings." and "Managed by Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. Owned by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers."
If it is found NOT to be a "state forest", then I recommend:
- that this article be redirected to Dewey Lake
- that the entry for "Dewey Lake State Forest" be removed from List of Kentucky state forests
