Name a Creek, Cove, or Place on lake Cumberland.

Just name one per post and don't repeat any. If you have GPS coordinates and directions to include that (we might just be calling some of the same places different names). Also if you have a good represenative pic post that.

Here is a beginning pic, feel free to use one of the locations in it if they are not posted by someone else already.

There are two Clifty Creeks. One is near State Dock on the west end and is not known very well. The one most speak of is on the east end.

That Clifty most are asking about is the one near Leesford. It is the more calm east end Party Cove. If heading north on Fishing Creek it is the next cove after Needle point on your left.

If heading South it is the first BIG cove on your right after leaving Leesford Marina.

GPS - 37.023774,-84.7065 If you want to see it go to http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=h&lat=37.023 ... 71&zoom=14 You have have to turn the hybrid mode on and zoom down to the destination.

I know Ohio Navy.com has posted some pics of Clifty Creek on here and their site http://www.OhioNavy.com

http://www.ohionavy.com/sys-tmpl/lakecu ... _all.nhtml

Here is one of his pics from the site.

Can one of you guys do a similar post for Cemetary Isle and give GPS and maybe a pic or two? I am not totally sure where it is... Also someone here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event ... 446&ref=ts would like to know as well.

Thanks

E

PS
The way I get the GPS is I pull up the Hybrid mode of Maps.yahoo.com and then I zoom in on the spot I want. I then right click the spot and say drive to here and it will fill in the blanks on the side with the GPS coordinates.
For example here is where the skull on shinbone should be

Earlier this month I posted: Sid Bell Falls.
This waterfall has a lot of names. None of them are official. I think we should use just one name for this place to avoid confusion.

When I researched the first Lake Cumberland Boating Guide (1993) the COE ranger I was working with related the Bell family once had a small grist mill near this location. So the name Bell’s Mill Falls he used seemed to fit. I continue to use that name in The Lake Cumberland Boating Guide 2nd Edition. The cove identification number is HC-3 since it is at the rear of Handcock Creek.

Descendants of a Sid Bell kept the land in this area and I think they still own it. I am trying to contact a local historian or someone in the Bell family who hopefully will shed some light on this. I will post whatever I learn.

Here is the update:

Today I described this waterfall location to a Bell family member who was recommended to me as well versed in Bell family history. The family member immediately responded, “yep, that is Sid Bell Falls. He was my Grandfather.” So, I will say grandfather to grandson verification trumps all else and is good enough for me. In any subsequent editions of The Lake Cumberland Boating Guide I will use the name Sid Bell Falls for the cove numbered as HC-3 in the guide.

Unless someone can put forward a compelling reason to do otherwise I wish to recommend for sake of consistency we stop using all the “aka” names that are floating around for this waterfall and stick with Sid Bell Falls. Among those, I think, are Sid Belle Falls, Handcock Falls and Family Falls.

Although I had the name of the Falls incorrect the family member said yes to the question of a grist mill once existing on the property.
BTW, Sid Bell died in 1948 therefore he was alive when the dam was under construction but he was not around to see what Lake Cumberland would become.

Yep! You got it Pop-O!

It was the first year the lake went down. (might have) drove out onto the "Island" with my truck and took that photo. Guess next year it will be all under water up to the vegetation line in the photo...

Updated the LakeCumberland Map
Updated Cave Springs to Wolf Creek and made the Beaver Creek dot red, as well as I overlaid another color over Wayne county so you could differentiate it from Pulaski.

Lake Cumberland Waterfall Trail

Photo of girls sitting in front of a beautiful waterfall on Lake Cumberland

Lake Cumberland is famous as the Houseboating Capital and is one of America’s favorite lakes for boating, fishing, tubing or just cruising around. One thing that everyone agrees on is that Lake Cumberland is one of the most beautiful lakes in Kentucky – featuring gorgeous rocky cliffs, crystal clear water and of course… spectacular waterfalls!

Photo of someone on top of a Lake Cumberland waterfall

We have put together a small list of Lake Cumberland Waterfalls for you to find with your GPS… of course this is just a beginning, keep watching as our list continues to grow.

Many waterfalls are best seen after a heavy rain.

GREASY CREEK:

Two small Greasy Creek Waterfalls – N 36° 58.004′ W 085° 03.858′

Photo of a fairly large waterfall on Lake Cumberland

Greasy Creek Waterfall with Rope swing – N 36°58.072′ W 085°04.230′

Greasy Creek Waterfall (The Big One) – N 36°57.638′ W 85°04.713′ This lovely waterfall is 4 levels. A rope swing is in the waterfall area.

Greasy Creek on the way to old 127 Bridge – N 36°57.936 W085°04.834′ . This is a small waterfall on the way to the bridge. Be sure to go slow and stay on the rock wall side, which is the deepest part. Be sure to use a depth finder if you have one!

Woolen Mill Waterfalls – N 36° 57.938′ W 85° 04.972′ . There are two lovely waterfalls on the other side of the bridge. To be safe, only access this area by canoe, kayak or small watercraft – Check the water depth!

Harbor Springs/The Bluff Waterfall – N 36° 56.618′ W 085° 02.273′ . Two waterfalls can be found in this area.

LILY CREEK:

Lily Creek Smaller Waterfall – N 36° 57.736′ W 085° 02.324′ . This is a smaller waterfall before you get to the “Little Louisville” waterfall. This smaller waterfall is located across from a boat platform.

Little Louisville Waterfall – N 36° 57.800 W 085° 02.461′

INDIAN CREEK:

Photo of 76 Falls - the largest waterfall on Lake Cumberlnad

76 Falls – N 36° 46.807′ W 085° 07.551′ – 76 Falls is the largest waterfall on Lake Cumberland at 37′ tall at the lake elevation of 723′. *Think twice before jumping off the top of this waterfall (even if you see other people doing it). There have been fatalities and many neck and spinal injuries as a result of hitting the water from the top of the falls. Just don’t do it!

OTTER CREEK:

Sid Bell Falls – N 36° 48.460′ W 085° 01.636′ – Handcock Creek ends here in a 5′ waterfall. The banks near the waterfall are short ledges with trees close to the water. *Before Lake Cumberland was created, Bell’s Mill was located here.

BEAVER CREEK:

Photo of a Lake Cumberland Waterfall in the Beaver Creek Area

Twyford Point – N 36° 8304′ W 84° 9385′ – There is a lovely waterfall located in the Twyford Point area of Lake Cumberland – I believe these are the coordinates. Someone also recently used the address of 2171 Twyford Point Road, Monticello to reach the waterfall by water , which might be more accurate.

NORMAN HOLLOW:

Norman Hollow Waterfall – N 36°.9001030 W 84° .8845190
