I also want to add that Donald Forsythe, Forsythe Publications, donated 2 Lake Cumberland Boater Guides for each picnic for a total of 4 guides! Donald also attended the West End (Lower End) picnic and helped sell raffle tickets for a houseboat vacation compliments of Conley Bottom and he also helped judge the most unusual item for our picnic. Thank you for your donations and also for your help! The Friends of Lake Cumberland greatly appreciate your generosity. :)

Marina/Ramp: Currently mostly out of Jamestown but spend a lot of time at the other Marinas.

Pre2012-Conley Bottom Mostly, Waitsboro, Alligator I&II ramps, Leesford, Pulaski County Park (when it has water), Grider, State Dock (via boat), and Jamestown are a few places you might find me.
