Dark Wallow Lake is a large lake southwest of March Ridge, at the southern edge of Knox Country. It is reached by Kentucky 79 and borders the edge of the playable map.
The game's own description calls it the place where Knox Country goes to relax, with lodges, camps and some of the best fishing in Kentucky. Forest and small ponds surround the water. Cabins sit on the shore, linked by a dirt road that circles the lake.
The lake is one of the best wilderness bases in the county. Zombie numbers around it are low, fishing is easy, and a fishing store stands close by. Survivors who want to live off the land, far from the towns, find almost everything they need here.

Surviving in Dark Wallow Lake
The zombie population around the lake is low. The guest house is the exception, crowded with zombies. Keeping clear of it makes life on the lake much calmer.
The lake gives endless water and easy fishing. The forest around it is rich in natural resources for foraging. The abandoned church on the east bank is a secluded base option. Camp Arthur's lodge is another good choice, with camping gear on hand.
Kentucky 79 gives a route out to March Ridge and Rosewood for supply runs.
