Kentucky Route 87 (KY 87) is a rural secondary state highway that traverses three counties in south-central Kentucky. It has two disconnected sections, one that goes from the Barren River Lake State Resort Park to the Tennessee state line via Fountain Run, and the other near Gamaliel.
KY 87 starts at a junction with U.S. Route 31E (US 31) opposite the entrance of the Barren River Lake State Resort Park near the Barren County community of Lucas. The highway traverses the two communities of Austin and Tracy and has intersections with KY 921 in Tracy. It enters Monroe County and intersects KY 100, a Kentucky Scenic Byway, at Fountain Run.
After Fountain Run, KY 87 continues south, and runs right on Monroe County's western boundary with Allen County, Kentucky before this county line reaches the Tennessee state line. The connection into Macon County, Tennessee, retaining the alternate name of Akersville Road, is a local-maintenance road connecting the state line at this point to Lafayette. The section from Lucas to the state line is 21.954 miles (35.332 km) long.
