Warmer than normal temperatures continue to provide days of total beauty and enjoyment. Looks like there are still many enjoyable days to come before the cooler temperatures change the ways we find enjoyable times on Lake Cumberland.
COMMENT: To control the lake to around 680 feet above sea level for safety issues at Wolf Creek Dam, after recent rains release of water was increased to a continous very high output. As a result, the river below the dam is high and fast. The lake is about 39-41 feet below the tree line which historically is about 725' above sea level. However, there is still a massive volume of water in the huge and deep lake, and the surface area remains one of the largest in the eastern U.S.
