So I've herd so much about lake Cumberland me and my wife decided to go there for a week of cabin camping and boating. Leaving the big boat at home and taking our fairly new low hour waverunner runner out of convenience. We plan on discovering the different areas of the lake, looking for sandy areas to swim and hitting up some resturants for dinner. We have a week so were looking for a few things to see and do on the lake. So give me your input please so I can make this a nice little vacation for the wife! We did torch lake in Michigan last year and this year and loved it. We have planned to go to different lakes every summer...the ones talked about a lot on different forums. Our plan is to hit lake Havasu next summer.

Harmon Creek or 76 Falls if you want to party, or just people watch.

What side of the lake are you staying on, because that will depend on where you go/what you do especially if you are only taking a sea doo as it's a long way from the West End to East.......

Visit the new Jamestown Tap & Grill. County went wet this past May the Jamestown Resort team found a good partner and opened several weeks ago. Very much worth a look see.

I think we are staying in Russell springs area, but will launch at different areas of the lake different days. This way we can cover most of the lake. We will be hitting 76 falls forsure.

Cumberland is very deep and the banks are steep, their are a few places you can get on the lake shore, but you won't find any sandy areas

Is there very many free launch ramps? And we will be there the Monday after the raft off in August.

A few, but I'd rather launch at any of the main ramps for ~ $5

If you're staying nearby Russell Springs, you can launch at Jamestown, the dam, or at State.

x2 on 39's post. My only other comment would be that you would probably have a more enjoyable experience if you took the "big boat". The lake is 100 miles long and although you plan to move boat ramps it would be much more relaxing to just launch and tour the lake in comfort. Fishtails is good for an afternoon break and its BYOB.

Fishtales is by far the best pull up restaurant on the lake. Depending on exactly where your staying, the old Alligator 1 ramp off 76 is a great free ramp with plenty of parking. Go see the "Little Falls", 76 falls, or just ride around and find your own cool area.
