Kendall - Lake Cumberland

**Kendall Rec Area** is an all in one recreational haven with the fisher folk in mind.

Outside Jamestown,Ky on Rt 127 it is easy to find and well worth the drive.

The Wolf Creek Fish Hatchery is in the same area below the dam of Lake Cumberland. There were several people fishing along the small stream that feeds into the tailwater of the dam.

The dam power plant is adjacent the entrance to the recreation area. There is a rental store that had kayaks and bikes , not far from the boat ramp that offered easy access to the river with a float plan map and fees clearly displayed.

The campground has two areas. A two loop area with water access and the annex was smaller and set back from the water but in the same area as the fishing stream. Both were crowded.

There is a nice pavilion, a nature trail and a small playground.
