We are planning on taking a trip on the Cumberland River later this summer. Our plan is to put in somewhere near Gallatin, TN. Boat through the Old Hickory Lock, and proceed down the Cumberland stopping in Nashville for a night or two.
We have never been on the Cumberland River, nor Old Hickory. So a few questions:
1. Any good launch ramps around Gallatin (or east of that) that would allow multi-night trailer parking?
2. I plan on calling Old Hickory Lock regarding lock times, but does anyone have general knowledge of the operation times of this lock?
3. Are there any issues navigating the Cumberland to Nashville?
Any additional information would be appreciated (such as sights to see along the way, etc.)
We are currently looking at getting a dock for 2 nights at Nashville Riverfront Dockage, and a hotel downtown.
Thanks in advance.
