Wakey, wakey, eggs and bacon! No, for real, cook some eggs and bacon. Make the hashbrowns too. I'm sure we are all hungry after all that horsing around yesterday.
After breakfast, get packed up and on the road. You gotta make your way down to Lake Cumberland, located in beautiful Jamestown.
Get parked, grab the poles and tackle boxes, then head on over to the State Dock Marina (https://www.statedock.com/) and rent a boat...unless you brought a canoe or kayak along.
Forget some supplies? Head on over to the Country Store near the visitor center. They'll sell you a new rod n' reel, some line, bait, lifejackets, whatever you need!
Time to go fishin'
Fishing is hungry work. Time to head over to Rowena Landing Restaurant and grab a bite to eat.
Click here for their menu.
Pack up the poles, tuck away the tackle, unless you want a second round of fishing.
As for the rest of us, it's time to play! Who doesn't like making waves and zig-zagging across the lake on a sunny day?
Head back over to State Dock Marina to rent your ride.
Prefer a manual to an automatic? Me too.
Cumberland Falls is a premier kayaking spot, featuring some nice waterfalls, rapids, and obstacles to conquer along the way.
Be warned! You venture beyond those calm, flat waters, you better know what you're doing.
Don't believe me? Watch this:
You're probably worn out after today. Look at the entertainment we suggest on the left-hand side to wind down.
If you didn't catch any fish for dinner, how about doing some hot dogs and s'mores over an open fire tonight? Just don't make a s'mores dog...that's nasty!
