Lake Cumberland Life

‼️F L O A T D R O P‼️. Ok, this isn’t really a clue but more of a notice. Dropped two green floats near Green Ford yesterday with the hopes of releasing one yesterday and one today but may have left one too close to the water at Lonesome. Soooo, that being said, after an early morning trip, there should be two floats (Good Lord Willin’ and the Creek Don’t Rise). One is at Lonesome and the other at Steele Hollow Bridge. Hate to just say it but trying to avoid the confusion of yesterday. So you have two chances. They’re hidden moderately well. Please remember to post when found (or as soon as possible; service is spotty out there). Hope to make a post later after they’re found that really highlights this area and explains the drops! Be safe. Wear water shoes and have fun!

Float Update: We think today's float might have washed or been picked up unknowingly. We will hide two tomorrow for you guys!

‼️FLOAT NOTICE‼️. Clue coming around 530

Next weekend!

Float notice. Using the photos from the last drop at Lynch Ford to notify you that there will be a clue around 630 tonight. If you never visit Lynch Ford, it’s worth the trip. Just barely out of town, it’s like a natural wildlife reserve. When visiting, we’ve spotted bald eagles plucking fish out of the water, all types of larger bird species, Blue Herons, turtles on rocks and large fish jumping out of the water. Oh, and many bushes that are attracting butterflies right now. And A LOT of left behind trash 😒😒😒😒😒

‼️ F L O A T D R O P‼️ CLUE: With it being this close to town, you just can’t afFord not to hunt! Remember: One per household, please post pic when found, be safe, and float is not exactly where shown but nearby.

Float notice. Clue coming at 5pm.

Edit: Sorry, we were not aware of the iffy weather coming on. We will drop a float tomorrow. It’s not where the float will be hidden tonight but it’s a beautiful gem all the same.

Info from http://www.lakecumberlandraftup.com/

The Lake Cumberland Raft-Up started in 2010 as it broke the Guiness World Record for the largest boat tie-up.

Make plans to be here on Aug 3rd, 2024 at Camp Earl Wallace location which is just east of State Dock and Jamestown Marina.

Any houseboats that want to be part of the day's events must park along the shoreline and not tie-up with the smaller boats and cruisers. This will be strictly enforced with water patrol's assistance.

We are getting pretty excited for the Mill Springs Mill annual Cornbread Festival on August 31st. Last year, the festival was a huge success and they’re preparing for even bigger and better this year. Vendors wanted. If you are interested in setting up a booth, give John (he’s the miller at MSM) a call at 270 250-2901

The annual raft up is around the corner on August 3rd starting at 12pm. Are you taking part in helping us break the record? If you're joining in, the meet up spot is Camp Earl Wallace. The raft-up will start there and wind through Lake Cumberland.

T-shirts are available for purchase in the Ship's Store! There will be live music during the day and fireworks at Safe Harbor Beaver Creek after the sun goes down. Be sure to stay safe and wear your life jacket!

Three things. 1. Got this photo (it is an old photo on the shelf in the store) while leaving these awesome new Peace, Love, and Lake Cumberland stickers at Dunagan’s Store at lunch. 2. Please try the brisket nachos if you go; they’re amazing. Annnnnd #3. There will be a float drop clue around 630 😎

What an awesome picture. I have no idea who took it but if someone does, please comment.

1. Look at this beauty. You can see vehicles like this at the Lake Cumberland Cruise-In every third Saturday at the park. 2. You can find another beauty around 730 tonight when we do our next float drop 😎

Float drop clue coming in 25 minutes! And just look at this blue beauty!

It's 3rd Saturday! If you have a car, motorcycle, tractor, truck...well anything that you're proud of....come out and join us tonight from 5-8 at the Lake Cumberland Cruise-In. Held monthly, cars cruise in and park near the road in the grassy lot beside the white gazebo at the entrance to the Monticello-Wayne County Memorial Park

We know the weather is iffy, but it looks like it could be pretty perfect from 5-8. Hope to see you there!
