Review:
Lake Cumberland is a reservoir in Kentucky that was created in the 1950s as a hydroelectric power source and as a method of flood control. But this very useful body of water is also quite beautiful, with deep waters and a surrounding area of green trees, rolling hills, and plenty of wildlife. Fishing is one of the most popular pastimes on Lake Cumberland, with state records held for sauger, sturgeon, walleye, striped bass, and several varieties of trout. The lake is also known as a popular spot for houseboats, and visitors to the lake will spot plenty of these unique craft upon the water.
