Water level at Lake Cumberland is majorly rising, lots of driftwood floating right now.

Part of it is still due to the lower levels for so long, debris was pretty bad last spring also but cleared up around Memorial weekend. This year it is a little worse, they have had a lot of rain down there and the lake was at max level so it picked up everything that was up the banks. Also a lot of junk comes down the rivers from the more rural areas, lots of trash and such. The Corps has opened all the spillway gates on the dam twice this spring so far to lower the level, the first time all gates have been open since 2004.Bummer! Is this because it was so low for so long? Is that usual? It better be cleaned up for my trip at the end of July! We have about 30 people going there.
Thats good to here! The temps have been so warm the last four days, the water is warming up fast! Our local lake was at 72 - 74 degreesWe were out all day on Saturday, the water has really cleared up, just have to keep an eye out for bigger single logs and such. Water temp was warm enough that the kids swam all day, I jumped in a couple of times and I would say it is warmer than it was last year memorial weekend.
