Our map of Lake Cumberland shows the location of 11 marinas. Planning your visit and what activities you want to enjoy may take some investigation as to what each marina offers in houseboat, small boat, and lodging rentals, restaurants and events or special activity programs. By means of this article, we will give an overview of what various amenities are offered by the marinas with the recommendation you access their individual websites for detailed information on rates and availability of their rentals. Not all marinas have houseboat rentals. While most have pontoon and fishing boat rentals, only a few have ski boat and PWD rentals. Most offer covered and open slip rentals, some only by the year while others offer half year and other short term moorage rates. Our overview includes more information on the major docks and marinas. Burnside Marina and Beaver Creek Resort are managed by Water Way Adventures and their web address is www. waterwayadventures.com.
