McGregor Park

McGregor Park in Clarksville provides access to Lake Barkley, a major impoundment on the Cumberland River system. This is a significant water resource with a large drainage area of 17,301 square miles, fed by substantial average flows of over 39,000 cubic feet per second. The lake environment offers a more stable paddling experience compared to the free-flowing river sections, making it suitable for various watercraft types. Given the size and scope of the Cumberland River system (a major stream order 8 waterway), boaters should be prepared for the presence of commercial traffic and understand local water management operations. The site's location in Montgomery County provides access to one of Tennessee's important recreational waterways.
