For Unsurpassed Kayak Trips Nashville Is Your Answer

By Christa Jarvis


Kayaking has become one of the most popular water sports - both as a competitive extreme outdoor adventure sport for pro's and a recreational sport for the man on the street. Paddling along a tranquil river while watching how the sun rises or sets, is potent food for the soul. The array of rivers in and around Nashville makes this area one of the best kayaking destinations in the world. For the best Kayak trips Nashville has it all!

The rivers in Middle Tennessee abound with wildlife and snake through the most exquisite natural environments. Don your binoculars and fishing rod and set off to any of a number of rivers for a peaceful paddle in the sun. There are plenty of pools and calm rivers for fun-filled family outings, while extreme outdoor adventurists can take their pick from several adrenaline-boosting white-water rafting trips. There is literally a river for every reason and ride.

If you are new to the sport, there are a number of companies in the area that provide hands-on training to help you master the art. Private or group lessons are offered for people of all levels of experience by professional instructors. All gear is provided and the lessons include handy information regarding what equipment to buy, how to transport a kayak and how to stay afloat in rough waters!

Guided group excursions and day trips along some of the most beautiful rivers are very popular. Guides that are certified by the American Canoe Association accompany guests to offer paddling instruction. The day trips include all the basic equipment, canoe or kayak rental as well as a shuttle service. Groups of up to 20 people can be accommodated.

Guided group excursions and day trips can be arranged for groups of up to twenty people. It is a very popular outing for church or school groups, businesses and families who want to have some outdoor fun in the sun. These trips include paddling instruction by certified guides, kayak rental and a convenient shuttle service. All equipment is included and trips are customized according to everyone's specific needs.

The waterways in and around Nashville each has a life of its own and distinct experiences to offer. For those who want to enjoy the wildlife, the Blue Heron cruise down the Cumberland River or the Cumberland River cruises out of Lebanon is a must. For an equally scenic ride, the Harpeth River is another option.

The 125 mile Harpeth River offers some of the most beautiful sightseeing trips. The best way to appreciate the true majesty of the cliffs is by looking up to them from a boat or kayak. The river and shores teem with wildlife such as waterfowl, fish, Great blue heron, whitetail deer and king fisher and one should have binoculars, cameras and fishing rods at hand.

With so many choices, it is almost impossible to make a decision without some guidance. The book Paddling Around Nashville by Patty Schultz is therefore a very handy guideline for those seeking the best kayaking routes. The book contains detailed descriptions of every river and creek in Middle Tennessee, as well as launch points and other useful information.
