Nothing is more relaxing than a day on one of Nashville's lakes or rivers!

Just in time for Father's Day, here's a list of Nashville's best canoe rentals, river cruises, and places to float your boat.


Delight nature-lovers with a Blue Heron Cruise down the Cumberland River in Nashville. Bring Dad's binoculars, as wildlife abounds on the forested banks.


Head down scenic Hwy. 70 for an equally scenic ride down the Harpeth River:
Tip-A-Canoe
Canoe Music City
Foggy Bottom Canoe Rentals

You can also drive south to Henry Horton State Park. Canoeing the Duck River is easy with convenient canoe rentals off I-65.

Make it easy! Nashville Shores offers all kinds of floating fun for Father's Day:


Head 45 minutes west of Nashville to Mongomery Bell State Park's lakes. You can rent canoes, paddleboats, and jonboats for Lake Acorn, or launch your own boat on Lake Woodhaven. Bring the charcoal to one of Montgomery Bell's picnic sites, or enjoy the Inn's buffet with breathtaking water views.

Take the family to Marrowbone Lake, just 15 minutes north of Nashville near Joelton. Friends tell us this 60 acre stocked lake is Nashville's best kept water secret! Boat rentals are available.

I highly recommend buying local guidebook, Paddling Around Nashville. Author Patty Schultz researched every floatable river and creek in Middle Tennessee, noting launch points, take-outs and other essentials. She describes 37 different paddling trips in the area. Paddling Around Nashville makes an IDEAL gift for the paddling enthusiast. You can pick up a copy at REI in Brentwood or at other local bookstores.

Other lakes to explore in Middle Tennessee:
Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville and Lebanon
Center Hill Lake in Smithville
Cordell Hull Lake in Carthage
Tims Ford Lake in Winchester
Dale Hollow Lake in Celina
