Ledbetter Bay - Murray State University Athletics

The Murray State rowing squad utilizes three facilities.

The team’s “Erg Room” is located in Stewart Stadium, a five-minute walk from the campus residence halls. Student-athletes currently use 18 Concept-II Ergometers but plans are in place to add an additional six “ergs” by the winter of 2006, brining the room total to 24 machines.

In addition, the room has an area for stretching and doing core-strength training, a changing room and a video review area. The space is convenient to the athletic training room located one flight below where student-athletes can seek treatment immediately before or after practice.

The Murray State University Boathouse at Kentucky Lake State Park was completed in 2005. The boathouse offers a stretching area, restrooms and an office. It provides storage for the Racers’ fleet of racing shells that include eights, fours, pairs and singles.

Kentucky Lake is the home of Murray State rowing. It offers the Racers access to 2,000 meters of protected rowing in Ledbetter Bay and over 10 miles of rowing throughout the lake.
