Six Web Cams Now Showing Lake Cumberland Has Plenty of Water
(Frankfort, KY) – Six Web cams are now showing anyone with Internet
access that Lake Cumberland is full of water. Some Web cams offer multiple
views and are real time.
“These six Web cams show that Lake Cumberland is full of water;
38,000 surface acres of water to be exact,” said Kentucky Tourism
Commissioner Randy Fiveash. “Viewers can see lake conditions
and the surrounding shorelines at any time of the day. These are live
pictures, so these are guaranteed to give an accurate look at what
visitors will see when they come to Lake Cumberland, these Web cams
provide visual proof of what they will experience.”
The Web cams, internet addresses and physical location are available
at http://www.kentuckytourism.com/.

the initiative and installing the Web cams.”
