We have so many happy memories here. There are multiple tables, grills, trash bins and shelters around the park for everyone to enjoy a picnic. They have a huge shelter available to rent with a kitchen for bigger parties or weddings. A nice doc with benches to fish from and a long sidewalk along the water. Its clean, super shady and well kept. Convenient bathrooms, volley ball net, playground and more. I can't say enough good things about the place. Go yourself and enjoy!

I'm not exactly sure why Rockland qualifies as a "recreation area" and not a full blown park, but…read moreit's a pretty neat area to spend a summer day. It's out in Hendersonville on Old Hickory Lake, and it has a handful of pavilions (five I think) as well as several picnic tables. There is a boat ramp at Rockland, and a lot of people fish or launch their boats from the area. I've been to a handful of picnics and large, organized "get-togethers" (as my family calls them) at Rockland. There is plenty of room for the little ones to run around or for a game of football or frisbee. Rockland has a pretty nice view of the lake, and it's right beside the Old Hickory Dam. There's a great stretch of shore near the dam that makes for some of the best fishing in the area, and it's a lovely place to just take a walk or enjoy the scenery. Not my favorite park in the greater Nashville area, but possibly my favorite in Hendersonville.

I was trying to book a last-minute half-day fly fishing excursion for my boyfriend and me, and the…read moretwo other main outfitters were fully booked. So I found Tightlines Tennessee and reached out ... and lo and behold, Drew (the one-man show behind the DBA) was available! I told him that, while we have prior experience, we were by no means experts, and we also were not seeking specifically to catch trout, but rather just an experience of fly fishing outside of Nashville, if it was possible. Drew delivered just that, taking us out on his skiff to this area of the Cumberland River near a local power plant. We had a wonderful morning casting - and thank goodness I was actually able to catch a couple skipjack shad / Tennessee tarpon, one of which would be our lunch :-) (My boyfriend also caught some fish, but that was to be expected, heheh) Drew cleaned and gutted the fish and put it in a bag for us to take home. He's a super nice and personable guy and with plenty of knowledge about fly fishing in the area. (And fly fishing is far from the only thing he knows about - if you're into bicycles, he's an accomplished MTB rider who helps run a bike shop in Nashville.) I am so glad we found Drew - next time we are in Nashville, we won't hesitate to book with him again ... but I'll try to do it with more advance notice :-)

Moss Wright Park may be one of my favorite parks in the Nashville Metro area! Tucked away north of…read morethe city in Goodlettsville, Moss Wright Park has all the quintessential offerings of a city park plus a few extras! The park itself is huge covering close to 150 acres, and features multiple sports complexes for different sports including baseball, football, soccer and even volleyball! In addition there is a paved walking trail that stretches over 3 miles from entry to exit, and gets even longer if you walk the parking lots that connect the two! The walking path is one of my favorites as it is fairly scenic for a park walking path with portions covered, shrouded in trees and alongside the creek, while the other part is open-air surrounding the soccer fields and dog park, but also still next to the creek. There are also gazebos, benches, picnic tables and playgrounds scattered throughout. The above are things that you naturally find at local parks, but a bit upgraded I would say...and in addition Moss Wright has a fairly newly constructed outdoor gym spot to help with a quick circuit workout. Lastly, this park is full of history from the Bowen House to Mansker's Station plus this park is location to the Goodlettsville Welcome/Visitors Center. Parking is plentiful. No matter which entrance you come in through or what area of the park you are after, parking is available. The park and all the facilities including the restrooms are very well kept from a cleanliness and condition standpoint. Overall, Moss Wright Park is a favorite of mine...funny enough, I am headed there to get a few miles in after submitting this review!

I've been very lucky to go to this marina with friends who have boats, or who are part of the…read moreNashville boat club. Overall I am very impressed with the marina and the people who work there. They take care of the docks and slips and are very friendly to you. I like the extra security of all the docks being locked up. Located in Hendersonville on Old Hickory Lake, Creekwood allows you to easily get onto and around the lake from its location. There's plenty of parking for you and friends if you want to spend a day on the water. Slips can be pricey, but that's kind of part of owning a boat. And you see all different kinds of boats at Creekwood, from small fishing boats to huge houseboats. And there's a place to gas up right at the end of the docks before heading out for the day. It's location protects you from really choppy waters and there are plenty of little inlets to anchoring your boat and floating that are very close to the marina itself. Also, side note, there's a gas station right across the street if you run out of beer. I have always enjoyed my time and Creekwood and my friends who have slips here have been pleased as well. If you are interested in docking here give them a call. Also, they are part of the Nashville Boat Club, in case you want to take one of their boats out as a member...they have reasonable hours for those as well. I would recommend this place to seasoned or new boaters.

This marina is quite lovely, with the slips set up in a pattern to accommodate boats of various sizes. There is ample parking and a restaurant on site.

That's all I got!

That's where I had my first Bushwacker! I thought the Marina was well laid out and felt very safe when getting on and off the boat. As far as boating on the Lake, the water was a little murky but I'm told it's because it's connected to the river. All in all it was a very fun day and if you have a boat and looking to dock it in Nashville, Blue Turtle Bay Marina is a great choice.

Do not do business with this company. Read the reviews about "the $200 cash deposit being taken due…read moreto a damaged prop." The exact same thing happened to me. They require $200 cash only for a deposit upfront. This company will claim that you damaged their prop, and that you were at fault, therefore you will not get your cash deposit back.

He worked with me to complete the classroom work at my convenience, plowed through the pool sessions & put me in contact with a similarly customer service oriented dive shop in Panama City so I could complete my open water dives all on my schedule. And Marcos isn't just doing this to make a paycheck either. I've received several invitations to cookouts & events that he hosts with/for any sociable minded local divers.
