Announcing closure of Cland tailwaters

[Lowerider]

The point is there has been SO FEW accidents that this, on the surface, appears to be a major overstep.

I'd bet water rescue is needed more often in a single year on Lake Cumberland than what's been needed below these tailwaters over a 30 year period. So based on that logic we should just ban boating on the lake altogether?

Same could be said for any number of activities... backwoods hiking, rock climbing, etc.

People take risks, and others CHOSE a profession to bail them out.

The punishment does not fit the crime in this case.

500 feet is not much at all when it comes to how turbulent the water (still) is. My understanding is the boundary below Wolf will start at the end of the concrete wall on the bank that people fish off of.

That wall is not even close to 500, maybe 150

Just reporting what Sasser told me main guy at Wolf creek dam told him.

I'd say wall is more than 150 but who knows... Depends where you start. Sluice gates sit farther back than hydros
