Lake Cumberland "The Houseboat Capital of the World" is a paradise for the water sports enthusiast. The marina offers 100 open slips, rental fishing boats, pontoon boats, houseboats, and ski boats. Contact State Dock - www.statedock.com, or 1-888-782-8336 (888-STATE DOCK). Open April through October. * Boat hook-ups are not available at this time.
Disc Golf
Disc golf is played like traditional golf. Instead of using a ball and clubs, players throw a flying disc or Frisbee®. The sport, which was first played formally in the early 1970s, shares with "ball golf" the goal of completing a hole in the fewest number of strokes or throws! Disc golf shares many of the same joys and challenges as traditional "ball" golf, whether you're sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway. However, there are a number of key differences. First, disc golf at Lake Cumberland does not require a greens fee or a cart rental. With disc golf, you never get stuck with a bad "tee time." Disc golf can be enjoyed by people of all ages, male and female, and is an inexpensive sport.
Fishing
With 50,250 acres, Lake Cumberland has an abundance of largemouth, smallmouth, white and Kentucky bass, bluegill, crappie, rockfish, and walleye. The fishing is better than normal after the level reduction to 37,000 acres. A Kentucky Fishing License is required. Click here to purchase a license online at KY Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources. Forget your gear? Fishing equipment can be checked out at the PERCH year-round.
