This annual event that embraces and fortifies community spirit, fun, and fellowship is held each July in Veterans Memorial Park, Burkesville’s City Park. There are plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy! Typical events include 4-H exhibits, amusement rides, a truck pull, Lawnmower Derby, pageants, Demolition Derby, horse show, and much more.

With multiple performances on the River Festivus, The Cumberland Queen Riverboat Review is held every year in Veterans Memorial Park to commemorate Burkeville river heritage. During the 1800s, riverboats were the primary mode of transportation for goods using the Cumberland River as a major thoroughfare. It’s a show not to be missed!

The third weekend in September brings some of the finest Bluegrass music around, but it’s not just pickers and singing. Events include a baby show, beauty pageant, 5K run, health fair, arts and crafts, a river ducky derby, and a classic car “Cruise In.” Held in conjunction with the festival is the Cumberland County Quilt Show featuring antique bed turning, a block contest, and a raffle.

During the third weekend in May, riders embark from Veterans Memorial Park on the banks of the beautiful Cumberland River for a day-long ride that winds through county roads enjoying some of the most scenic river views, hills, and valleys that you will ever ride through on two wheels. While it is sponsored by the BMW Motorcycle Club of Nashville, all makes and models of bikes are welcome. Check their website for full details.

Visit this biannual vendor extravaganza at Bodock Farms in May and September. Food vendors and live music round out this weekend sale featuring art, craft items, jams and salsa, candles, clothes, jewelry, treasures, and much more.

The Fourth of July is when the cordial hometown spirit of Burkesville takes center stage. There is a sense of community, fellowship, and Southern hospitality that is so often missing in today’s fast-paced world. Festivities are held in Veterans Memorial Park on the banks of the sparkling Cumberland River. From breakfast and a parade to honor veterans to karaoke and fireworks at the end of the night, there is something for everyone! A couple of special events folded into the day like The Southern Kentucky Softball Classic and The Cumberland Queen Riverboat Revue warrant their own descriptions. Check out their respective sections for details.

The River Festivus is an annual event held the 3rd weekend in August. This multi-day event offers a chance to race your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard during the Mighty Cumberland River Run or just relax during the Festivus Float. There are opportunities to shop and eat, participate in fishing tournaments and hear live music from Grammy winning artist. Visit River Festivus for a schedule of events, and to check out options for lodging and dining to plan your trip.

“The Southern,” as it is called, has been part of the Fourth of July Independence Day celebration since 1965. This men’s slow pitch softball tournament is the longest-running such event in the State of Kentucky. Teams from states beyond Kentucky gather in Burkesville to compete for the honored winner’s trophy. More details can be found here.

This annual motorcycle benefit is held on the fourth Sunday of September. To participate, just buy a ticket and wear your riding gear. All of the proceeds go to a local group, We Care, that helps support Cumberland County cancer patients and the Cumberland County Search and Rescue Squad. After the ride, a delicious home-cooked meal is served to the riders by the churches of Cumberland County. There’s also a lively auction. Details about the event can be found here.

Burkesville is the Fishing Capital of Kentucky with the Number One Trout Stream in the Eastern United States. Here you can find sauger, crappie, bream, muskie, walleye, trout, catfish, and five species of bass — largemouth, smallmouth, white, Kentucky, and rock. Upstream, the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery, part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, works to stock public waters in Kentucky. Fishing tournaments are a highlight of the River Festivus celebration held each August. 

Cumberland River

Coldwater fishing in the Cumberland River is even possible during the hot summer months. The Wolf Creek Dam created a change in the water temperatures of the lower Cumberland River because the waters that come into the river are pulled from deep under the surface of Lake Cumberland. Trout thrive in this cold tailwater and it’s a boon for fishermen. In fact, trophy brown trout swim in the Cumberland River, as do bountiful numbers of rainbow trout. Fishermen can catch walleye, sauger, and oversized striped bass. Because of the cold temperatures and strong currents, fishing guides are a great resource for a safe and successful fishing trip.

Dale Hollow Lake

The uppermost fingers of Dale Hollow Lake reach into Cumberland County, crossing over the Kentucky-Tennessee state lines. The world record smallmouth bass, at just over 11 pounds, was caught at Dale Hollow Lake over 60 years ago. Dale Hollow Lake continues to produce large, healthy fish thanks to conscientious fishermen and a healthy ecosystem. While smallmouth bass are the main draw, you can also find crappie, largemouth bass, spotted bass, bluegill, elusive muskie, and even brown trout. While the lake doesn’t support a reproducing brown trout population, wildlife officials stock it with browns that grow to significant sizes. Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park, with its lodge, boat ramp, and marina, is a convenient access point.

In Burkesville-Cumberland County, you can pick your passion for fun on the water: boating, kayaking/canoeing, tubing, paddle boarding, water skiing, swimming, or all of the above. The crystalline waters of Dale Hollow Lake also make it a prime spot for scuba diving. The massive 28,000-acre lake, with its 620 miles of heavily-wooded shoreline, has plenty of inlets, beaches, islands, coves, and creeks to explore, as well as open water. Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park with its lodging, restaurant, rentals, and other amenities, is a great way to access the lake.

The Cumberland River runs right through the town of Burkesville, so it’s no surprise it has its very own celebration: River Festivus. Held every August, the festival presents a true snapshot of why the mighty Cumberland River is worthy of a spot on your travel bucket list. This multi-day event offers a chance to race your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard during the Mighty Cumberland River Run or to just relax during the Festivus Float. Fishing tournaments are also a highlight.

Burkeville is also on the Cumberland River Trail, a 76-mile blue water trail, which starts at the southernmost point of Russell County at the Wolf Creek Dam and finishes on the Cumberland and Monroe County line (close to the Tennessee state line). In Cumberland County, the Cumberland River runs from the northeast corner to the southwest corner, and the trailhead is located adjacent to Veterans Memorial Park. With all of its natural beauty, the Cumberland River requires respect for its strong currents and cold temperatures. Each mile of the 30-mile trail in Cumberland County is marked with signs indicating location and points of historical significance such as previous launch sites of the Cumberland River Queen Steamboat. 

Cumberland County is a destination perfect for exploring on foot, mountain bike, ATV, motorcycle, horseback, or watercraft. There is a trail for every mood and every mode of locomotion. With its status as a Certified Kentucky Trail Town, you know you not only get the great outdoors but great amenities too. Trails are well-maintained, and after an invigorating day, dining and lodging choices abound.

Burkesville and Alpine Hill Trail

This easy-to-difficult 6.5-mile walking, running, and biking trail, with level to steep terrain, connects the Central Business District with the Cumberland River Trail.

Cumberland River Trail

Thirty miles of the 76-mile blue water Cumberland River Trail run through Cumberland County. This easy-to-moderate paddling trail starts at the southernmost point of Russell County at the Wolf Creek Dam and finishes on the Cumberland and Monroe County line (close to the Tennessee state line). Cumberland County has a trailhead launch spot located adjacent to Veterans Memorial Park. There are many natural wonders along the way, and mile markers placed along the 30 miles of the river in Cumberland County indicate locations and points of historical significance like former steamboat launch sites. 

Explore Cumberland County Trail

This 105-mile trail is a favorite of motorcycle enthusiasts.
