Lake Cumberland Conditions?

[Rangerman]

Does anyone have any Lake Cumberland water, road/ramp conditions? Thinking about making a trip this weekend, just wanted to know if I can make it there and safely launch at what ramps?

Also, what is the water color & temp?

Thanks in advance.

All of Somerset is perfectly fine. There is no ice, snow etc it is 100% clear. Burnside and Waitsboro ramps are 100% useable however there is a lot of debrit in the water from the rain so water is dirty on this end but there are guys fishing.

Trust this is helpfull,

CURRENT LAKE LEVEL: 686.56 ( 27.0" in 24 hrs)
COMMENT: After heavy rains in the region, the lake level is rising rapidly, going up 5.25 feet on Wednesday and Thursday. Water release through Wolf Creek Dam was increased to a very high rate, with the river below the dam high and fast. It is about 39-41 feet below the tree line which historically is about 725' above sea level. However, there is still a massive volume of water in the huge and deep lake, and the surface area remains one of the largest in the eastern U.S.
CURRENT SURFACE WATER TEMPERATURE: 44.3 °F measured at State Dock, live sensor reading courtesy forum member lake4fun.
LATEST C.O.E. WATER TEMPERATURE: 36° F at the surface and 5 feet and 37 degrees from 10 to 30 feet (measured at Lee's Ford Marina on Jan. 20)
