In addition to a variety of water sports, the Lake Cumberland area offers a variety of hiking and camping opportunities. Specifically Lake Cumberland State Park has much to offer all in one location. There you can stay in the lodge, rent a cottage, or camp--I suppose it all depends on how much luxury you need. The state park has a four mile loop trail that has many spectacular views of the lake as winds through the beech, hickory, and oak forests. The other trail is one and half miles long one way and boasts of much of the same including a variety of wildlife. Lake Cumberland State Park is also the home of a fantastic restaurant, a nice golf course, and of course Lake Cumberland State Dock where houseboats are rented. If you have a few days to spare and need something to do I would recommend that you visit Lake Cumberland.
