Guist Creek Lake is the county's largest lake and one of its best kept secrets. In a serene rural part of the county, deer, turkey, and other wildlife are seen frequently near the water.

The 325 acre lake is located northeast of Shelbyville off KY 1779 and is also visible from US 60 between Shelbyville and Clayvillage.

The lake is primarily for fisherman. It is one of the best bass lakes for its size in the state. Fishery include: largemouth bass, hybrid stripers, cat fish, crappie, blue gill and rock fish. Many fisherman reports catching fish over 5 pounds regularly. The record largemouth bass for this lake is over 10 pounds.
