Middle Tennessee might be in the center of a landlocked state, but there are still plenty of lakes and rivers throughout the area that offer countless ways to get out on the water. The almost 700-mile Cumberland River stretches through northern Nashville, offering a wealth of activities, from boating and water sports to fishing and paddling.

The Harpeth River, located just southwest of Nashville, is a popular spot for kayakers and canoers, thanks to its calmer, quieter waters. The Nashville area is also home to two major lakes, Percy Priest Lake and Old Hickory Lake.

Biking

There’s a lot of beautiful open countryside in Middle Tennessee, and there’s no better way to take it all in than from the seat of a bike.

The Natchez Trace Parkway originates in Nashville, and stretches 444 miles to Natchez, MS, offering up beautiful scenery and powerful historic sites along the way. And since commercial traffic is prohibited, there are no traffic lights, which makes it a terrific place for a short or long bike ride.
