Commodore Yacht Club

Commodore Yacht Club offers a well-maintained boat ramp providing access to the Cumberland River near Nashville at mile marker 193. This is a full-service marina facility ideal for boaters seeking amenities beyond basic launch access. The site features ramp memberships for unlimited access, restroom facilities, showers, laundry, and a picnic area. The location places you within easy reach of Nashville's restaurants and attractions, making it convenient for multi-day trips or social outings.

The Cumberland River at this access point is a major waterway—the 8th-order stream drains 17,301 square miles and averages nearly 40,000 cubic feet per second. Paddlers should be prepared for a substantial river with significant current (averaging 4.4 feet/second) and expect boat traffic typical of an urban river near a major city. The river's 1.2 ft/mile average gradient indicates generally manageable conditions for experienced kayakers and canoeists, though local conditions can vary. This is best suited for boaters comfortable with larger rivers and powerboat traffic rather than quiet, remote paddling.
