My favorite place to go and be is Lake Cumberland. Lake Cumberland is located in Somerset Kentucky, and my family has been going there for as long as they can remember. We go down down with my aunt, uncle, my three cousins, my parents, and my grandparents for about one week during the summer. I have been going there since I was one year old. For a number of years we just went down with my grandpa’s boat, but now my parents and I have one too so we are able to go down more.
For the past few years we have stayed at a place called Conley Bottom Resort. It is a campsite, resort, and dock all in one. It is one of the bigger docks located on the lake. We stay in the cabin type motels that they have, they are nicer than some hotels you will probably stay at. The rooms all come with a covered boat slip, this is nice because my grandfather can use this for his boat. This is also where my parents keep our boat during the summer. We go down about ten times every summer to boat, besides the time we go down for the whole week.
Lake Cumberland is amazing, the water is so clear you can see your toes. Lake Cumberland is 101.3 miles long. The lake has lots of coves you can anchor in. The coves are nice when you just want to lay around on the boat and swim. When we go down we tube, ski, knee board, and ride jet ski’s. Tubing is really fun. The boat swings you around and tries to throw you off the tube. Riding jet ski’s are my favorite thing to do on the lake. When your on a jet ski all you have to worry about are how fast you are going, and trying not to through yourself off. You kind of feel free when you are trying to go as fast as can down the lake.
This has been my favorite place to go, Lake Cumberland. Credit for picture by http://heartoflakecumberland.com/
