I have a 35 foot formula that I want to put in this Saturday. I need to know which launch would be the least steep and closest to Pirate's Cove. I'm coming from Murfreesboro, but haven't been on Old Hickory a lot, therefore I'm not real familiar with the lake. Let me know if you have any suggestions please!

Pirates cove is the old lakewood marina..it has plenty of room and not 2 steep of a ramp.. shutes Branch is also an option..

anyone have any better places??

what should i do for driving directions just put pirates cove marina in my gps? how far off 65 would it be?

Do a mapquest of Blackjack Cove........basically, stay on 65N thru Nashville to Old Hickory Blvd (state route 45). Hang a right at the end of the ramp and then go something like 6-8 miles and turn left........should be a sign when you get into Old Hickory/Lakewood.

I would launch at Rockland. It's easy to get to. Straight up 65exit Vietnam Vet Blvd (386) then exit after Center Point Rd Hendersonville exit. R on Gallatin RD to Hville, Right at the Exxon to Power plant Rd. Right on Power plant and your there. It's behind Anchor High. The next marina on lake is Black Jack. Facing the ramp you want to us the left side. Plenty of parking if you arrive early. BJC has one ugly ramp and parking is not the best.

anchor high(Rockland) from murfeesboro would take an hour to get there.. stay on Nashville side of lake..

is anchor high on the nashville side?

hendersonville side
