Where is mile marker 27 ? Just update at 5:00 PM.
Unless Ilooked at it wrong, 27 is around Little Bear.
Your right George.
Unless I read it incorrectly ........it's open from mile markers 14-27. This is north from little bear to mouth isn't it?
So the lake is open from mile marker 27 to all the way south? Where did this information come from?

Good luck finding a place to launch. I was at Ken-Lake this morning and water is right at the top of the ramp. Lake is still raising.
Is there a lot of boats launching out of kenlake?
Lee Blakeman
Kenlake will be a mad place tomorrow since it's about the only place in mid lake to put in.
I launched in a parking area yesterday. Only trailer there.

Well now wait a minute - I thought it was open from 14 to 27
That would be from KY Dam to Little Bear. Kenlake would be in the closed area.

UPDATE 2: Coast Guard reduces closed portion of the Tennessee River
Cumberland River remains closed
PADUCAH, Ky. - The U. S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port Ohio Valley, under authority of the Ports and Waterways Safety Act and in partnership with local, state and federal officials, <u>reduced</u> the <u>closed portion </u>of the Tennessee River, Thursday, <u>to the stretch between Calvert City, Ky. (mile marker 14) to Little Bear Creek (mile marker 27)</u> including portions of Kentucky Lake. The Cumberland River remains closed in the vicinity of Carthage, Tenn. (mile marker 313.6) to Smithland, Ky. (mile marker 0), including Lake Barkley.
Recreational boaters are allowed to operate on all other portions of the Tennessee River between Puducah, Ky. and Pickwick Landing during daylight hours only.
Heavy rain falls over the past weekend throughout the Tennessee Valley have necessitated record high water discharge rates from dams along both river systems, creating hazardous river conditions for recreational vessels. The dangers created by these high discharge rates are many, including swift river currents, heavy debris flows, spilled hazardous materials, and submerged objects including break walls, boat docks, and piers. These extreme flows have also made the navigation buoys in the area unreliable.
Because of these dangers, all recreational vessels are restricted from operating in these areas to include bays, creeks and tributaries until the safety zone is lifted. The water levels and river conditions are being evaluated several times daily.
Persons found in violation of the safety zones can be fined under U.S. Code 33. The maximum penalty for violating a safety zone is $32,500.00.
Boaters are reminded that any wake given off by their vessel during high water can be extremely dangerous and damaging. Vessels should operate at the slowest safe speed while transiting in and out of bays and marinas.

I am NOT CERTAIN but the way I interpret it.............Kentucky is open from 68 bridge south AND NOW ALSO from mile 14 (below the dam @ Calvert City) to mile 27 @ Little Bear. I think it is CLOSED from mile 27 to the 68 bridge.
Is this correct?
Sorry.........that makes more sense for it to be closed between dam and Mile 27 than to be open there and closed in the middle.

KFVS 12 is wrong - WTH?!
You can still put in on the East side of Johnathan Creek. the water in the creek looks a little clearer. You just can't go under the bridge, too much water. Not much of a parking area but I noticed not many people puting in there.
