    Float trip on Cumberland:
    Obstacles, exhaustion, good hamburgers




    2008-08-08 - Winfreys Ferry, Cumberland River, KY - Photo By Chris Bennett.
    Cumberland River navigational obstacles near Winfrey's ferry
    This photo was taken on the first day of our river trip near our starting point of Winfrey's Ferry in the Creelsboro community of Russell county. Winfrey's Ferry is located about 14 miles downstream of Wolf Creek Dam, by the way the river flows. Originally I had planned on starting at the dam, but the water was just too shallow due to last years drought. Debris like the drift wood in the photo can make the upper Cumberland almost impassable when the water levels are low.

    The second days traveling was much worse. South of Burkesville we had to evacuate the boat 11 times and drag it over the rocks as the water was to shallow to allow the boat to float. As the day carried on and the water levels improved, the river redeemed itself to us as we saw several Deer, Geese, and the first of twenty two Bald Eagles.

    At Celina Tennessee, where the Obey river meets the Cumberland gave us good water for the rest of our trip. At the end of the day we reached Cordell Hull the next lake on the Cumberland River System. At Granville Marina we found a two bed room cabin on the waters edge that had hot showers, cold AC, and a restaurant that had two good lookin' little cooks. "Those gals served me up the best cheese burger and fries I have ever eaten". At 5:00 p.m. I took a shower and went to bed, I was out for the next 14 hrs, I was exhausted. I am writing a very detailed account of this trip, but it seems to be growing in to an epic Novel, its just not a story I can tell with a few words. -CHRIS BENNETT
