My family went there during the summer when I was 15. I remember it being a beautiful place.

Is this going to be a guys only weekend again?

Cumberland works for me! I'm about 1 1/2 hours from there! Basically Memorial Day thru Labor Day is the best riding weather around here. I ride Barren River Lake which is nice because its 20 mins from me but Cumberland is much nicer. Plenty of Marinas with food and Lodging. If its Cumberland probably four or five of us from Bowling Green will come over. I could talk them into that drive. A word of warning about KY lakes. They are dry as in adult beverages. People have it, but if you are acting a fool you will get checked. TN you can have a keg on your boat if you want as long as the driver is sober. I don't think that would be an issue while riding with this group, but just something to keep in mind. Its frowned upon in most campgrounds also, but goes back to stay cool and nobody will bother you. Dale Hollow is just south of Cumberland and splits the KY/TN line. Just throwing another Lake in the hat. If I come my gf will more than likely come with me. She has her own ski and rides the shit out of it!

I am sure my wife would like to come, but only if there were other wives to complain to about our Seadoo addiction etc.

Im sure my wife would and my other friends wife would come to...if it was ok

 

[96spxpos]

Listen,
bring the wife, the neighbor's wife, your mistress, whoever....especially if they like to ride

 

[Minnetonka4me]

The last event we just put that in there, in all reality we could have brought them as we all had double beds....but there arent many that want to hear us yap about seadoos all weekend.

 

[96spxpos]

judging by that weather card, its looking like May is acceptable, but most will probably prefer June or July. What do you guys think?

 

[Ankeneyou]

I think June would be preferable with water temp especially if wives are coming. I don't need to hear complaints about how cold it is all week, lol.

Here are a few pics I had on my phone from my last trip in August. We went the houseboat route for this trip again. I've been there pretty much every year since I was a kid.

 

[suke]

did that house boat actually have lifts, or did you just afroengineer something?

 

[Ankeneyou]

Houseboat comes with 2 lifts which fold away in the floor when not in use.

 

[glsmohio]

I would be ok with june or even the last week of may...if every one is ok with that we should just plan on it and wait till about the 1st part of march to set the week we do it or weekend we do it. just to see how bad old man winter is ....

 

[96spxpos]

ok, so what place is this? and. are there any gas stations remotely available? (wondering if I should bring gas cans or not)

 

[96spxpos]

and on that '00 XPL, do you have to side board from the water or can you climb back on if in the water?

you could bring cans...i wouldnt see why not

 

[Ankeneyou]

Conley bottom is nice, but my only issue is the distance to my favorite areas of the lake such as 76 falls, the dam, cliffs for jumping up beavercreek and otter creek. I guess a ski only group (vs boating) is different so we may not want to travel to those areas though.

CMB = ?
LFM = Lee’s Ford Marina
