description Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) estimates wildlife-related recreation produces a total economic impact of $5.98 billion per year. Houseboat Capital of the World The recreational boating sector alone has an annual economic impact of $1.7 billion in Kentucky, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, supporting 401 businesses and more than 8,700 jobs. Kentucky's showcase outdoor recreation spot is Lake Cumberland, a massive body of water that covers parts of five counties in the south-central part of the state and features limestone bluffs and shoreline forest. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 4 million people visit Lake Cumberland per year, with an economic impact that the Kentucky Department of Tourism puts at $268.3 million for 2017, the last year for which figures are available.
