Russell County, Kentucky

Russell Location Map Kentucky

Russell County’s in south-central Kentucky, where Lake Cumberland makes a big splash. Jamestown, the county seat, is like a beach town without the ocean.

U.S. Route 127 and the Cumberland Parkway provide easy access to this popular vacation destination. The county’s all about the lake. Fishing, boating, you name it.

There’s a cool wolf creek fish hatchery if you want to see where all those lake fish come from. Just don’t try to cannonball off the Wolfe Creek Dam… the park rangers tend to frown on that sort of thing.
