    This is where I keep my boat year round. Just up the lake from State Dock. Nice party atmosphere for those interested

    Take a look at Grider Hill, and then you may also want to look at Jamestown Marina. It's just across the creek from State Dock. I"m not sure what they've got available. http://www.jamestown-marina.com/ Good Luck!

    Fever, Jamestown has plenty of slips available. Its about a 5min idle to State Dock. If for some reason you can't get anything, send me a PM we'll hook you up.

    Speed Limit WHAT Speed Limit

    Lake Cumberland is DRY, so stock up before you come. From what I have observed, as long as your not obscene, obnoxious, or acting stupid (with regard to alcohol consumption) or driving stupid, the water police will let you be. But there are others' can probably give you more specific advice on that aspect.

    The speed limit is directly related to the number of logs in the water that you can avoid.

    The more I think about Cumberland the more I realize it was the worst body of water I have ever boated on and also the most dangerous because of the logs.

    Logs are only an issue in the spring or after a major rain. Most likely you will not see a single log in August. You are coming at the best time of year for oveall water conditions. Relax....Have Fun!!!

    As for the "Boys in Blue" they will only bother you if you give them a reason to. Use common sense and you'll be fine.

    Fever coozi's coozi's coozi's & you'll be fine..... Overload on fun drinks better to have to much & have left overs to take home, than run out!!!!

    The log issue was Early last year because the lake being down 40ft from it's standard level for damn repairs & having so much rain it nearly brought the lake back up to it's standard level, The lake is still considered what regulars call down, but the lake is by no means shallow or short on surface areas to run your boat, As was mentioned in august you'll be yard pressed to see anything debris wise on the lake... Have a good time

    Logs will not be an issue. Vette visited the lake last year when we had almost record rain fall in a short period of time right before our event. This is my "home" lake and there will not be any issue! I have been going to Cumberland for 34 years and never saw it like Vette experienced!

    Pack a color and head to Harmon Creek for some fun!
