DALE HOLLOW LAKE AND LAKE CUMBERLAND
Dale Hollow Lake and Lake Cumberland were built and are controlled by the US Corp Of Engineers which means that no one can own property on the water. Dale Hollow Lake is mostly in Tennessee but partly in Kentucky. The area around the lakes are still unspoiled by development and host a large population of wildlife, deer, turkey, quail and all sorts of small species of birds for bird watchers. The recreational areas draw  people from all over the country using more than fourteen marinas on the 2 largest lakes in Kentucky. House boat slips have a waiting list of 1 to 2 years in most of the marinas. Boat slips and house boat rentals are at a premium and usually need to be reserved at least a year in advance. Fishing is at it's finest with bass, bluegill, crappie, muskellunge, sauger, trout, walleye, bream, peckerel, pike, perch, catfish and nongame species. LAKE CUMBERLAND STATE RESORT
