Seems to be some confusion to the proper name of the water impounded behind Wolf Creek Dam. To help those confused souls...

Cumberland Lake is a glacial lake of Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located in the Cumberland Delta in East-Central Saskatchewan about 60 km from the Manitoba border. Cumberland House (Saskatchewan) and Cumberland House Provincial Historic Park are located on the south shore and is accessed by Highway 123. The community has been subject to floods from the Saskatchewan River. The lake was an interior hub of fur trade routes traveled by Voyageurs during the fur trade era.

Lake Cumberland is a reservoir in Clinton, Laurel, McCreary, Pulaski, Russell, and Wayne counties in Kentucky.[1] The primary reasons for its construction were a means for flood control and the production of hydroelectric power. Its shoreline measures 1,255 miles (2,020 km) and the lake is spread over 65,530 acres (265.2 km²) at the top of the power pool. The reservoir ranks 9th in the U.S. in size, with a capacity of 6.1 million acre-feet (7.5 km³) of water, enough to cover the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky with 3 inches (76 mm) of water. The main lake is 101 miles (163 km) long and over one mile (1.6 km) across at its widest point. The lake has become a major source of tourism and an economic engine for south-central Kentucky.
