Is it safe to run anywhere on Kentucky lake with the lake at 359?
Yes sir! Just watch out for floating debris.
Even at summer pool 359, there are areas along the main. river edge that are less than 5 foot deep, especially. South of Blood River

Not at all, at least not in Tennessee portion, if you don't have a lake map, then be alert when out of marked channelsQuote:

If you are not familiar with the lake I would always recommend staying between the channel markers when possible, I personal think it is ill advised to assume you can run anywhere on the lake. There are some sand bars which extend further out than one would think. I see boats come flying into my back bay, only to watch their disappointment with their motor up and kicking up mud. Just my thoughts. Map recon will generally keep you out trouble.
channel buoys are there for a reason. use them
Idle speed has saved many lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.
When in doubt, idle about...

Always follow the channel on you GPS and you will have no stress to worry about hitting bottom!
