there is some gas near Dale Hollow too but it ain’t known fer oil patch
Our property lies just about midway ‘twixt’ Dale ‘Holler’ and Cumberland Lake. Just driving around in the area you’ll see far more idle wells than active ones-I’d say the ratio is about 5 or 6 to 1. According to some of the old-timers in the area, back in the early ‘70’s when first discovered there was quite a lot of activity. But it was never anything like on the scale of say LA, Texas, or OK. Sadly, it’s all ‘pert near petered out’ now.
