CUMBERLAND RIVER. The Cumberland River flows nearly 700 miles from east to west, through the northern section of Tennessee. It dips down to Nashville, then back northwestward into Kentucky to its mouth on the Ohio River. About half of the river has been made navigable by a series of lock and dams. A navigable channel is maintained on the Cumberland River for a distance of 381 miles, extending from Celina, Tennessee to the Ohio River upstream from Paducah, Kentucky. At Barkley Lake, a canal connects the Cumberland River with the Tennessee River (Kentucky Lake).

The Cumberland River winds through a very scenic region of rolling hills and forests. As a transportation corridor, it connect the coal mining region of middle Tennessee to the Ohio River. Its course is arduously winding through this rugged region, the river's 381 navigable miles cover only about 170 miles as the crow flies. Several of the dams along the Cumberland create large reservoirs, most notably Barkley Lake. These all have recreational facilities and public landings.
