Reviews
- ★★★★★over 7 years agoAwesome lake beautiful and picturesque. So large 1000's of people can be on the lake and you will not see another boat all day. Beautiful waterfalls, great little crannies to explore.
- ★★★★★about 1 year agoHome sweet home. All my best childhood memories are on this lake. It once was incredibly clean and trees lined the hills. Its a shame how many trees have been cut down for houses. The water quality has deteriorated.
- ★★★★★over 2 years agoLove it here we try 2 take the family down at least 2 times a yr 2 camp n b on the water. It's a great place 2 get away from the busy city life n recharge ur mind n spend time with the family
- ★★★★★almost 4 years agoLake Cumberland is Heaven on Earth. Home away from home. 76 Falls is absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend spending a weekend there with the family for creating life long memories. It will probably become your new favorite home away from home as well.
- ★★★★★over 3 years agoKentucky finest lake Wolf Creek Dam and the trout fish hatchery are a must see The hatchery has a stream for trout fishing that travels down to meet the Cumberland river The lake is deep where it meets the Dam There is public access at the dam from Holcombs landing The lake has a vast steep shore line with many creeks ending in small water falls. Fishermen visit Both sides of the Dam. The dam is a great area to swim Cool deep water Weekends too crowded and too many boaters making rough waters. The state lodge has always offered Marina services lodging with balconies and views of the lake and sunsets and a restaurant with a great view and good food Visit the dam at sunset and see the mist and the magic of the dam at night
