For boating in Kentucky, the biggest event at Lake Cumberland is the Lake Cumberland Poker Run. Friday, September 6th kicks off a weekend of fun, music and fast boats. It has become one of the nation’s most popular speedboat attractions. Most of the action occurs on Friday and Saturday, but the speedboats typically end up staying through Sunday to enjoy the Lake Cumberland area attractions. And, for Kentucky lakes it has the best straight-shot boating opportunities.

The Poker Run, which took place over the weekend, involves participants - in this case, on the lake - going to different locations and drawing a playing card at each to try to make the best.

State Dock is unique in that during the Poker Run we convert many of our rental houseboats into “boatels”. These houseboats do not leave the marina and are parked on “Houseboat Row” during the Poker Run. They are cheaper than most hotel rooms and you get to stay where the action is. We have boats that sleep from 10 to 16 people.

For availability & pricing, please call State Dock at (888) 782-8336. In addition to boatels, State Dock is located inside the Lake Cumberland State Resort Park. We’ve reserved all rooms for Poker Run participants. They can be reached at (800) 325-1709. While the State Dock and State Resort Park offer quite a bit of lodging, the boatels & rooms book fast. Below is “Houseboat Row” with all of the houseboats lined up waiting for the incoming Poker Run guests. We book up fast, so call as early as you can. If we do not have availability, there are other options that are close by in the area.
