I didn't mention them that you might have a little intellectual exercise.

So you're leaving typos in entries by yourself (
) and entries by me for me to find?

Does it? It seemed shorter than usual, probably because you were so quiet

A fine little entry about a spot in Kentucky - I reckon we need more of them...
Perhaps a mention that Lake Cumberland is one of the 10 largest lakes in the US?

Hi, Jodan!
I think you need to sharpen up the introduction, to give more of an idea of what makes this particular lake special. 'One of the ten biggest lakes in the US' is a bit vague. I checked around on google, and as far as I can see the size is around 200 square miles (not as big as I was expecting) but the lake has such a branching shape that the shoreline is about 1,200 miles.
I think the sentences about 'technologically-minded people' sound odd. Many people with an interest in technology still like to get away from it all occasionally. I think you could replace the four last sentences of the introduction with 'Lake Cumberland is a paradise for anyone who can enjoy a simple life.'
'The lake was mostly dug out by dynamite' also sounds odd - it isn't actually digging if you blast out the rock, is it?
'76 Falls, which has less than 76 waterfalls, is really a creek that runs into the lake in multiple places.' 
I don't understand what you mean here.
The 'Places to Put a Boat in' section is a bit confusing. Is this for people who have brought a boat from elsewhere and need to launch it?
Overall, it is an interesting entry, but I think you could tighten it up a bit without losing anything.
And please, please, please don't keep chatting in the PR thread - it makes it very difficult for anyone who just wants to add a few simple comments!

A few simple comments eh?
This is one of my most lighthearted pieces, (that's relative )
Jimi just suggested a few posts ago about it being one of the ten biggest lakes. I've heard this before a few times while in Kentucky, but I'll research it some more...
...And fix the rest.
