LEX 18 radio partners WKYM report that thousands attended the annual Raft Up event held on the lake.
The tradition started back in 2010 as an attempt to break the world record for the largest numbers of boats rafted together simultaneously, according to the State Dock website.
Now it's become a tradition for many locals and visitors to party on the lake..
Fish and Wildlife Officers made 18 arrests for numerous offenses on Saturday, one of the main charges was boating under the influence.
Reportedly two Cincinnati men were arrested on a number of drug charges including possession of meth.
