Friends Reunion This Weekend - Advice

Hello all!

Myself and about 10 friends are having a small high school reunion on Lake Cumberland this weekend. We are all in our early 30s and rented a Houseboat from Beaver Creek Marina. We will be on the Lake Friday night- Sunday.

Does anyone have any advice as to where we should go? We heard there is the Thunder Run this weekend. We want to be where the action is and where a lot of young people will have their boats tied up.

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Well most of the action would be closer to Grider Hill and 76 Falls but that is a long possibly expensive cruise on a houseboat.

Thunder Run, you want to be at the Falls. Pool your resources......get the fuel and enjoy the scenery..........

This might help on planning 18 miles to 76 Falls

Thank you. Sounds like Grinder Hill Marina area is the best bet to tie up and party Friday - Sunday. How long a drive is that from Beaver Creek (roughly on a houseboat)?

Any other advice?

We have a 16'X82' houseboat, we average 3mph.-5mph. in it. most people in rentals hammer them down usually burn a lot of gas and really don't go that much faster. Plan on 3-4 hours. I know we'd plan on more.
