Kentucky’s only 24/7 state-owned and operated ferry connects two segments of KY-214, which leads to the scenic Turkey Neck Bend section of southeastern Monroe County. For boating and fishing, a concrete ramp has been installed on the down river side of the ferry. Fishing on the Cumberland can’t be beat, sauger, stripe, big-mouth, rainbow trout . . . just to name a few. The Cumberland River is a wild river above the headwaters of Lake Cumberland. One of the largest waterfalls in the eastern United States, Cumberland Falls, 68 feet high, is on this river. Most of the river below Lake Cumberland’s Wolf Creek Dam is navigable because of several locks and dams. A 90-mile section of its Big South Fork is protected by the National Park Service as Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.
