Ohio Navy is a "public domain" type of boating cultural lore or, concept, that began during the late 1950's and early 1960's when the manmade Lake Cumberland was filled and born. It became very noticeable that many, many, many people from Ohio were bringing their boats to the new Lake Cumberland.

Navy".
* Motel and restaurant billboards read, "Welcome Ohio Navy".
