During the summer months Lake Cumberland sees no shortage of watercraft or shortage of variety. In the course of one "voyage" on the lake one might see luxury houseboats, runabouts, speed or powerboats, jet skis, pontoons, and the lone fishing boat anchored in a quiet cove. A passerby might encounter any number of vehicles while on the lake--be prepared to wave! There is something about being on the lake that brings out hospitality in visitors both local and tourists. The lake is notorious for its scenic beauty, do not be surprised when a bright speed boat whizzes by with a skier pulled by rope who appears to paying more attention to the green hills and occasional hawk. It is all part of the atmosphere of Lake Cumberland. Then there is tubing! Tubing is a sport all in itself. A nice long rope tied to an inner tube then secured to a powerboat will provide any dare devil the ride of their life. To obtain the greatest high of all, choice in driver (of the boat) makes all the difference.
