Lake Cumberland
Lake Cumberland is an artificial lake in South-Central Kentucky created by the construction of the Wolf Creek Dam in 1950 at a cost of $80.4 million. The primary reasons for construction were a means for flood control and the production of hydroelectric power. Its shoreline measures 1,085 miles (1746 km) and the lake is spread over 50,250 acres (203 km²) at the top of the power pool. The lake has become a major source of tourism and an economic engine for south-central Kentucky.
