↠ ABOUT THE TOUR ↞
What a better way to escape the hustle and bustle of Nashville than a day on the water at Old Hickory Lake! This is a great paddle for those looking to experience the breathtaking views of nature and a chance to explore the rich history of the area. Old Hickory Lake is located in Middle Tennessee, just a short drive outside of Nashville! This beautiful man-made lake was formed by the construction of a dam on the Cumberland River in the 1950s.
Kayaking with us on Old Hickory Lake allows you to observe the diverse wildlife including bald eagles, great blue herons, ospreys, turtles and many more that call the lake home. Our tour guide will lead you along the way, providing interesting facts about the area, and help point out the various wildlife along our paddle. The tour also boasts some of the most scenic views in the area, with tree-lined shores, rocky cliffs, and stunning sunsets that are sure to take your breath away.
We start our paddle at Bledsoe Creek State park which features 57 campsites, as well as over six miles of scenic hiking trails, and venture upstream experiencing the natural beauties of the lake before turning around and taking a leisure paddle back to the park.
Whether you’re an experienced kayaker or a beginner, this is a great time to relax and enjoy what the Tennessee outdoors has to offer!

Lilli was our tour guide and she was amazing! Loved her go-with-the-flow, sweet, and outgoing personality! The tour itself was so cool. It was just us three (my partner, me, and Lilli), and we kayaked in open waters and in the mangroves - going through trees and seeing fish and oysters ‘spitting’ and tree crabs (to which I learned are very sweet and harmless). She provided us with a water bag for our phones and she took pictures of us from her kayak too, and air dropped them to us at the end! Definitely a highlight of our trip and would do it again.
