Pulaski County is one of the largest counties in Kentucky with scenic, rolling country sides, which are further enhanced by the picturesque beauty of Lake Cumberland. Lake Cumberland, the third largest lake in Kentucky, is a boater’s paradise for cruising, skiing, house boating or fishing plus there are now some fabulous beaching areas made possible by the extra exposed shoreline due to the lowered lake level. Never-before-seen waterfalls have been discovered and new coves have emerged making for a magnificent landscape.

The fun in Pulaski County doesn’t stop at the shores of Lake Cumberland.  There are an abundance of things to do whether you are interested in history, agritourism, the arts, golfing and outdoor recreation or just want additional water activities.  Come experience the heartbeat of Lake Cumberland and discover all that Somerset and Pulaski County has to offer!
