The fall meeting of the Kentucky Ornithological Society will be held at Lake
Cumberland State Resort Park from 23 September - 25 September. 38 Lodge
rooms are reserved for KOS attendees at a rate of $87.95 per night. The
rate is for 1 or 2 persons with a $5.00 fee per person beginning with the
3rd occupant. The Lodge did not allow us a discount due to the popularity
of the Lodge at this time of year. However, please mention that you are
with KOS as the number of rooms we utilize may affect the cost of meeting
room facilities. There are also 3, 2-bedroom cottages reserved at a rate of
$154.95 per night. The cottages sleep up to 8 persons, however the rate is
for from 1 - 4 persons with a $5.00 additional fee per person beginning with
