Kentucky Route 92 (KY 92) is an east-west state highway in southern and southeastern Kentucky. It is one of few state routes in Kentucky with two discontinued segments on both sides of a certain body of water, which in this case is Lake Cumberland. In total, the route (including distances of both segments) goes for approximately 112.485 miles (181.027 km) long.
The building of Wolf Creek Dam and the subsequent creation of Lake Cumberland divided the two portions of the road, as it did several other state highways in this portion of the state.
In Adair County, KY 92 begins at a junction with KY 55 just southeast of Columbia. KY 92 goes into an east-southeasterly path into Russell County, and enters the city of Jamestown. it crosses US 127 outside of town, and runs concurrently with US 127 Business within city limits up to the Russell County Courthouse. KY 92 continues southeastward to a boat ramp on the shore of Lake Cumberland. This segment runs for a total of 17.221 miles (27.715 km).
KY 92 resumes at a dead end on the Beaver Creek shore of Lake Cumberland in western Wayne County. it then goes through the city of Monticello, and then goes further southeast into McCreary County and into the Daniel Boone National Forest. The route provides road access to portions of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area before reaching Stearns. it runs concurrently with US 27 for a few miles. KY 92 then turns eastward to go into Whitley County, where it provides access to Interstate 75 and U.S. Route 25W at Williamsburg. KY 92 goes further east, almost running into Knox County, but instead crosses into Bell County and meets its eastern terminus at U.S. Route 25E just northwest of Pineville. This segment runs for 95.264 miles (153.313 km).
