SOMERSET, Ky. (Aug. 30, 2022) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District announces that Camp Attrahunt Boat Ramp, including its parking lot on the shoreline of Lake Cumberland in Monticello, Kentucky, is closing Thursday, Sept. 8, through Sunday, Sept. 11, during the Lake Cumberland Poker Run.
Government stakeholders that include Wayne County Fiscal Court, Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, and Corps of Engineers, are coordinating the closure of this public site. Law enforcement and first responders will have exclusive use of this area during the Poker Run event.
