Most folks come to Somerset and Pulaski County because the sparkling waters of Lake Cumberland are known as the “Houseboat Capital of the World.” But the best recreational lake in the country, according to USA Today’s 10Best.com, is also a place where friends and family can fish, play, and find cozy anchorages under sunny (or starry!) skies. Others come to visit “The Capital of Lake Cumberland” because this part of South-Central Kentucky is a vibrant, hospitable center of arts, crafts, culture, and shopping, with thriving restaurants and abundant live music in a revitalized downtown.
