This was part of the Kentucky River Waterway.
This shows that the lock is a lot taller than the normal upper pool level. I presume that is because the dam does not have any controllable gates and has to be tall enough to keep flood waters from overtopping the gates. We can still see the cut stone construction of the lock.
And that page has links to 18 photos.

The motivation for researching this L&D is that it is a location of a NOAA station for the Kentucky River.
