In today\u2019s episode, our friends Holly and Josh join us to discuss Green River Lake in Kentucky.  Let\u2019s learn more about their lake adventures. Have fun on the lake The lake is a great place to have fun and make memories. Whether you\u2019re fishing, tubing, skiing, or just hanging out with friends and family, there\u2019s something for everyone. Green River Lake is an 8,200 acre lake with three marinas.  It\u2019s known for its fishing tournaments and its sense of community. People are friendly and welcoming and there\u2019s always someone to hang out with. The most popular gathering spot is Butler Creek, but there\u2019s also a cove called Mount Washington Cove that people like to hide away in.  Holly and Josh have a fishing boat\/pontoon, a Bayliner ski boat and a 28-foot from Cruiser Yachts. On average weekends, they\u2019ll go out and get some sun, ski tube with the kids, or go to Party Cove and listen to music and drink. If the kids aren\u2019t with them, they\u2019ll just float and relax, and then come back and grill out, play cards and play games.  Make memories on the lake For those who don\u2019t own a boat, there are plenty of rental options. You can rent a pontoon, a ski boat, or even a yacht. No matter what you choose, you\u2019ll be able to explore the lake and have a great time. For those with kids, the state park campground has a beach where they can swim and play. And if you\u2019re looking for a more adventurous experience, you can join a fishing tournament or take part in a raft-up.  Molley talks about her first memory at Green River Lake.  She and her brother encountered a guy fishing, but forgot to ask what he was using that day.  Chad\u2019s family typically camped and then rented boats at Green River.  They talk a little about dealing with inexperienced jet ski operators. Josh shares his memories about his parents starting out at Green River Lake.  Holly describes how her kids know what each of the marinas and docks feature.  If They Won the Lottery What Boat Would They Buy? Holly would get a seafoam green, center-console Scout.  Josh would choose a wake boat and a houseboat.  What Are Some of Your Favorite Lakes? Holly grew up going to Cumberland and Dale Hollow and remains partial to both.  She\u2019s heard nice things about Norris Lake.  It\u2019s a great mix of scenery and things to do.  She\u2019s also been to Rough River.  Josh has been to Taylorsville, Nolin, Barren, Cumberland, Dale Hollow and Green River Lake.  Explore Different Lakes Exploring different lakes can be an exciting and rewarding experience. It can be an opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime and to experience a variety of different cultures and scenery. From the calm and peaceful waters of Green River Lake to the wild and windy waters of Cumberland, there are plenty of lakes to explore. Green River Lake is a great place to start. It\u2019s perfect for fishing, and it\u2019s easy to navigate. The lake is wide enough that you don\u2019t have to worry about getting lost, and it\u2019s small enough that you can cover the entire lake in just a half tank of gas. There are plenty of cabins to rent and plenty of social activities to participate in.  Cumberland is a great lake to explore too. It\u2019s much bigger than Green River, and it can get very windy. But when the wind comes across the main channel, it can be like the ocean, with three-foot whitecaps. This can make for a rough ride, so it\u2019s important to be careful. The lake is also home to some of the best bass fishing in the country. Dale Hollow is another great lake to explore. It\u2019s a smaller lake, but it\u2019s still a great place to fish and it\u2019s a great place to relax.  Exploring different lakes can be an amazing experience. You get to experience different cultures, different scenery, and different activities. You get to make lifelong memories and friendships, and you get to see what each lake has to offer. If you\u2019re looking for an adventure, make sure to explore different lakes.  Enjoy Time on the Lake Molley talks about how coming home to their own lake is just as special. After visiting different places, you get to come back to the familiarity of your home lake. You know the area, the people, and the activities you can do. You also get to make new memories with the people you love and care about. When you\u2019re driving to a new lake, it can be a bit of a challenge. You may not know the area and you may not know where you\u2019re going. Chad comments about how navigating a new lake may require looking at your phone trying to figure out where you are. But, when you\u2019ve been going to the same lake for years, you know the area and you know how to get back.   When you\u2019re on the way to the lake, you may have a certain spot that you look forward to. For some, it\u2019s the water tower, for others, it\u2019s the rooster farm. For others, it\u2019s the movie playing on the DVD player. These little things can make a big difference when you\u2019re on the way to the lake.  Favorite Memories When you\u2019ve been to the lake for years, you may have a favorite memory. Holly describes how it was when a friend asked him to shave a \u201cK\u201d for his girlfriend\u2019s name on his back. The same guy tried to do tricks on the slide and ended up hitting his head. Chad talks about the time his father-in-law helped him gain the respect of his son by whipping him around on the tube. Molley talks about how much she enjoys seeing the lake through the eyes of someone who\u2019s never been on the lake.  These memories are all enjoyable, but it\u2019s important to remember that safety comes first.   One Piece of Advice for a New Boater For Holly, it\u2019s before you get out on the lake, it\u2019s important to make sure you read the manual. Whether you\u2019re in a boat, a pontoon, or a tube, it\u2019s important to make sure you know the safety protocols. The last thing you want is for something to go wrong and for someone to get hurt.  Josh suggest that you put the plug in, as well as a spare set of keys in case something goes wrong. Overall, it\u2019s important to remember that reading the manual before boating is essential. It\u2019s important to make sure you know the safety protocols and that you have the necessary supplies. Boating can be an amazing experience, but safety always comes first.  Romantic Date Night on Boat Holly reminds Josh about a romantic date night on their boat. Just imagine, you and your partner out on the lake, the stars shining above, and the cool night air on your skin. It\u2019s a truly magical experience. Josh had the perfect plan. He brought a foam mattress to lay on, so they could look up at the stars. He also brought Prosecco and a charcuterie board for them to enjoy.  If you\u2019re looking for a romantic date night, a boat is the perfect place. You can take in the beauty of nature while spending quality time with your partner. It\u2019s a great way to connect and create memories.  EPISODE SPONSOR INFORMATION: We\u2019d like to thank today\u2019s sponsor and encourage you to contact them for your Lake Cumberland real estate needs.
