Old Hickory Lake TN
 
Hello everyone. I currently live in SC and will be moving to Nashville, TN end of year for work reasons and looking for a good ramp to put my boat in on the weekends. I have a Donzi 38ZR go fast boat so looking for a slightly sloped ramp with plenty of parking along with a courtesy dock. Can anyone pass along some boat ramps that possibly offer that?

For us go fast boat owners finding parking and a decent ramp is sometimes challenging.

Really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

Blue Turtle Bay is nice. Very clean and has a great restaurant and active bar, in fact is a locals favorite. The biggest problem is if you are staying on the boat there is no on the docks facilities for overnighters.
It is 10-15 minutes from town.

Thanks! Can you put the boat in there?

Yes they have a nice boat ramp. Check out their website and give them a call for details. I think this is where the Old Hickore Poker Run was based out of. You can also call the Tennessee Powerboat Club for more details.

Shutes Branch is where we always put in when at Old Hickory lake. It's pleny of room to launch and very good parking for any size trailer.

Thanks for that info. What length boat do you put in there?

Mine is 33ft, but Eddie Young of Young Performance Marine uses that ramp for all the boats he works on. He had a 47 fountain there a few weeks ago with no issues and the parking area was pretty full then.

Excellent! Thanks for that info. I know Eddie’s name and plan to use him when I move.

He's top notch and will do his best no matter who the customer is. He built our motors and finished the rigging on our AT. Him and Travid do great work there and you won't be disappointed.
