I have an friend who is selling a house on Lake Cumberland. He knew I have always wanted a lake house so he asked me if I was interested. The problem is, I have never been on Cumberland and don't know anything about it.

It is only 4- 4.5 hours away so it would be easy to make weekend trips.
I spend about 80% of my time bass fishing, 10% walleye fishing, and 10% gill/crappie fishing. Would you recommend Cumberland as a bass fishing lake?
From google maps, it looks like the house is ~4 miles up the river from Gen. Burnside Park. What is that area like?

I know the dam has recently been repaired and they are raising the water levels. Do you think this will improve the fishing because a lot of nutrients/trees will be added to the lake?

Thanks guys. Any info would be great.
