Lake Cumberland has reach record levels after heavy rains hammered southern Kentucky for several days.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says the lake was at 755 feet above sea level Monday morning. There was about 45,000 cubic feet of water being released from the lake every second as all the spill gates are open. 83 percent of the flood control pool is being used, and the dam was releasing around 60,000 cubic feet of water per second by Monday afternoon.

Access to the lake and the Cumberland River below the dam is being limited because of the high water. Only one of the marinas has working electricity at the lake, and many of the boat ramps are closed.

Officials say if not for dams like Wolf Creek, the Cumberland River in Nashville would have exceeded flood stage by 15 feet.
