Proposal for a new Lake Cumberland Marina: Marina @Rowena

[stripernut1]

if i remember correctly the proposed location for this marina would be on the clinton county side (south side). access to this marina would be via hwy 558 off hwy 90 . i might be wrong (probably so dont quote me) but the last time this thing fell through there was some confusion about the actual size and acreage of the property, when all was said and done it was going to encompass around 100 acres of water and 300 acres of land. if this is the case that is A HUGE amount of public water that will fall under the "ownership" of the leasee.
for crying out loud theres not a 100 acres of water between jamestown and the state dock.
once again, please dont quote me on this, i am trying to remember what i read in the clinton county newspaper and its been a couple of years since i read it. but i think im pretty close in most of it

The location, from what I heard, is on the South side. It would be back in the cove where the old Rowena road ends (and is a ramp now). My guess is the entire cove\creek out to the main would be used. It's just a guess...

This is correct from the info and map I have seen. There is some confusion on the location with the name Rowena on both sides of the lake.
There was a old tire painted white up in a tree to mark the entrance to this cove.

For grins I pulled up Goggle Earth Pro. Zoomed in on Jamestown Marina, then State Dock. Cool thing about that app is it lets you draw a square on the map and then measure the size in acres. Jamestown including the waters on both sides and around back the motel island along with boat docks out front and 1/2 the distance between it and State dock was 85-90 acres.

The full floating part of State dock with surrounding waters was 90-100 acres.

Approximate of course because it depends on how much surrounding waters you include.

What I got doing that was trying to image something like the size of state dock fitting in a slew anywhere close to the dam. Next thing I thought of how much traffic that would generate in the area, and how bad it would screw up Fall jumps in the dam area. And last......Would that create more traffic on 127 or what?

Then I thought, okay, I'll go along with it so long as the dock restaurante is a White Castles :-)
