The Cumberland River Compact (https://cumberlandrivercompact.org) is a nonprofit
organization that promotes the love of water through education, arts and recreation. Their
belief that we can obtain a strong economy and a healthy environment with collaboration and
action is supported by businesses, members, community organizations and agencies who work
in the Cumberland River watershed also known as “the boot.” They ensure the rivers and
streams continuously provide clean water, healthy fish, generous crops and recreational
activities for the public.
