Cedar Point Recreation Area provides access to Normandy Lake on the Duck River in Coffee County, Tennessee. This location sits on a large river system with a drainage area of 3,454 square miles and an average flow of 5,719 cubic feet per second. The Duck River at this point is a mature waterway classified as Stream Order 7, indicating a well-developed river channel suitable for various boating activities.
The average water velocity of 3.31 feet per second and moderate gradient of 3.2 feet per mile suggest manageable conditions for recreational boating, though paddlers should be prepared for noticeable current. The elevation at this location is approximately 108 meters, with the water body ranging from 108 to 383 meters elevation over its 284-mile length. The reservoir nature of Normandy Lake typically creates calmer conditions than the flowing river section, making it more accessible to paddlers of varying skill levels.
Boaters using Cedar Point should be aware that this is part of a significant river system in Middle Tennessee with substantial water volume and flow. The site's proximity to the larger Duck River system means conditions can vary based on upstream dam releases and seasonal water levels. Local paddlers and boaters familiar with this specific access point would be the best source for current conditions, launch quality, and facility amenities.
