Lake Cumberland is known for houseboating and all the great accommodations that are available around the area. In our marinas section, details are highlighted for each of the great marinas on the lake. You will find accommodations listings and some superior places to visit (see “Annie’s” travels and treasures).
Contrary to much of the media hype, there is plenty of water. Although the water levels were lowered to accommodate the Wolf Creek Dam repairs; it is a huge lake with over 1,200 miles of shoreline, 50,000 acres of water, and in most places, it is very deep with over 100 feet of depth not being uncommon at normal pool levels, and still over 60-90 feet deep even at the reduced lake levels! No problem for your cruisers, houseboats, or pontoon boats on LC! The marinas have all made provisions to make your summer vacation or weekend getaway enjoyable and pleasant. Most marinas offer a shuttle service from the parking lots with a water taxi service from the dock to your houseboat. Southern Hospitality at its finest and service with a smile! Thinking about coming down with your family for a family reunion or any other special occasion? Have we found the place for you! Fort Wahoo Cabin and Boat Rentals at LC is a wonderful, spacious place with new log cabins, a picnic shelter, and a playground area. They’re just a stone’s throw away from Cave Springs Marina. This is a great place to have several families rent the cabins or for a group of guys to come out during hunting or fishing season to kick back, relax.
Looking to shop, explore, and enjoy some laid back living? Take a drive to the South Fork Mennonite Community located just off of Hwy. 127. Enjoy the Casey County Produce Auction every Monday, Wednesday, or Friday to buy some of the region’s finest fresh produce. Take a stroll through Sunny Valley Country Store & Bakery and see the wide variety of bulk foods, amazing selection of oils, herbs, and about a dozen naturally flavored honeys. South Fork Furniture offers handcrafted Amish furniture built to last. They have everything from bedroom ensembles in hickory, oak, and pine to beautiful armoires, buffets, dining room collections, and one of "Annie's" favorites - the beautiful wooden lazy Susans - a perfect gift for a bride-to-be, birthday present, or for houseboat or cabin living. There are plenty of events to keep you coming back for more throughout the year.
Lake Cumberland loves water events and the quest to beat the World Record Raft-Up on LC will take place on August 14th, where over 2,000 boats are expected to take part. Go to their official website, www.lakecumberlandraftup.com to sign up and participate in this monumental and fun event! The Lake Cumberland Poker Run is also a blast whether you want to participate or just be a spectator. It’s a site to see these grand boats blast off and race around the lake to get their winning hand.
SomerSplash in Somerset offers the biggest water adventure park in the area and is a favorite for families and kids (no matter the age). Make sure to take a day and visit this exciting destination. While you are in downtown Somerset, come see what their ardent volunteers have done to transform a historic turn of the century post office into a wonderful arts center - the Carnegie Community Arts Center (CCAC). The CCAC offers monthly exhibits, art classes, and an artists’ guild with their juried art being displayed in the gift store, along with a wonderful French market gift store and bistro downstairs in this magnificent building.
If you love history, explore Mills Spring Battlefield and see why this historical setting is one of the most visited areas depicting the trials and tribulations of the Civil War years. When you visit the folks in this guide, let them know that you found them here. Enjoy your visit to the Lake Cumberland area!
