Re: Favorite Lakes
OK Rides... I'll try again... this time with the right info.
Although we've been there only once, we plan on returning to Kentucky Lake. The lake is much over a mile wide in many places, with many rivers feeding into it, that are more than wide enough to ski, tube, whatever. If you like boating along river banks, you can go for a LOOOONG way (something like 90 miles long). There is even a loop that people make through channels and lakes in the area, going through locks and such.
We stayed at a very small place called Oak Haven Resort, that I would
very highly recommend, here's their website:

The lake tends to be shallow in places, but if you get a chart (you can get one for about $6 from Art and Connie) and have a depth finder, you'll be fine.
Their cabins are actually two bedroom houses, with cable TV and air conditioning. They are not "newly decorated" in modern style, but they are very clean, comfortable, and fully equipped. We are also on a "family budget" *** you mention, so care much more about cleanliness and comfort than about "newly decorated" decor.
The cabins are about 100 yards from the docks (included in the nightly rates); they also have a pool. The photo is what you see when you look out the porch - not too bad eh?
It was a great few days, and we would have gone back in 2008 except for family situations that prevented us - hopefully will go this year.
Sorry if I'm rambling, but we really enjoyed ourselves.
I'm sure there are many other choices, but this is certainly one to consider.
