Rolling hills and valleys border Kentucky Lake, with the Tennessee River forming the county's southern boundary. The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area covers much of the eastern portion of the county.

Livestock operations dominate the agricultural landscape, with cattle grazing on improved pastures throughout the rolling terrain. Crop production focuses on corn and soybeans on the flatter bottomlands near the lake.
