I actually want to take a ride down there now just to say I did and see how different the place is.

here are some pictures my father-n-law took this weekend. The cabin is located in Russell Springs ky. He said the pictures don't do it justice.

That's looks like it's up in the Caney creek channel. I recognize that ramp and dock. We used to put in at Wolf Creek, and camp in the coves close to there.

Me and my dad are going to try to go over there in a few weeks to fish. Looks like I'll just need to take a net, and drag it around.

Nah, you can go, there is actually a ton of shoreline will, just a few places you can't get to. Plus they are extending just about all of the ramps. www.lakecumberland.com has good updates.

The pics sjweber posted are in one of the smaller channels too. It's the channel on this map listed as Caney Fork.

There will still be plenty of water there. Some of the more popular coves for fishing will be a little shallow or dry. They just have to get the ramps extended, so people can get their boats in the water. I'm wanting to go diving there some more this summer, since I'll be able to get to stuff I couldn't before. There's an old dam that was in about 120' of water, but now it's reachable on regular air.

Yeah, My father and law said he has seen it this low before. The lake is so massive there will be plenty of water to play on. I just hope people do get hung up on things that weren't there before, like trees and cars and people and stuff. haha Yeah I think we can still use the ramp. It was not as bad as I thought it would look. They said at one of the local stores that they have already lost about 50% of their recreation income just with the drop as of now.
