About Hendersonville's Old Hickory Lake

Nashville boating opportunities

This is a repost of a blog by Julie Mcleland.

Have you considered boating in Nashville? Many people are unaware of the growing boating society in Nashville, TN. Lake Old Hickory is directly linked to downtown Nashville through only one easy lock.

Once on the Cumberland River, it is only a short trip to downtown Nashville. Metro parks have a dock on the river right beside the train depot where the Music City Star brings commuters and tourists. All slips have power and may be reserved for up to 5 days at a time. The dock is gated and monitored by metro parks.

The slips are walking distance to the busy area of 2nd street and Broadway. The Frist museum is only blocks away as is the always delicious Mike's Ice Cream Shop.

Since I've joined Facebook in the last few weeks, I have seen old friends and have gained new ones. With Facebook, I have joined such groups as Historic House Sales, Luxury Homes, Social Media, Bloodhound, even my local chambers. What I like most about it is that the people that see me know that I am real and I go through "stuff" just like anyone else. I also can see what others are doing to keep them going. I would suggest everyone jump on this. It is a great tool to use and it's not just for the 20-something crowd. It provides great networking and social opportunities.

Now Twitter...that scares me. But who knows I may try that down the road too.
