Dickerson Chapel

Dickerson Chapel is a boat ramp access point on Old Hickory Lake, the impounded section of the Cumberland River near Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee. This location provides access to a major waterway that drains over 17,000 square miles of the southeastern United States. The Cumberland River at this point is a large, well-established waterway with significant flow averaging over 39,000 cubic feet per second, making it suitable for various boating activities.

Old Hickory Lake is a substantial reservoir created by damming the Cumberland River, offering relatively calm water conditions compared to the free-flowing river sections upstream and downstream. The lake provides a good venue for recreational boating, fishing, and paddling for those seeking a more controlled water environment. Given the size of the water body and the river's major shipping classification, boaters should be aware that this location may experience commercial traffic or tugboat activity.

As a marked access point in the Wilson County area, Dickerson Chapel serves paddlers and boaters looking to launch on this section of the Cumberland River system. The specific facilities and amenities available at this particular ramp would need to be verified through local management sources, as those details are not provided in the available hydrographic data.
