Brilliant activity, if you're lucky you'll catch some wildlife include beautiful little turtles. The scenery of the Nashville skyline is second to none. Just remember sun screen on your legs when it's sunny cause I burned pretty bad not thinking 😂

The workers were not really guides as my trip was self guided, but they were all very nice and helpful. The trip takes about an hour and is a fun was to see the river of Nashville
