About Lake Cumberland State Resort Park

This public recreation area sits on the northern edge of Lake Cumberland, a few miles south of Jamestown in Russell County, Kentucky. The park covers a little over three thousand acres, while the lake that defines it is far larger. Visitors can book lodging, set up at campgrounds, use a marina, fish, and play disc golf. The lake's surface area has shrunk from its original size, according to the source.
