Trice Landing Park

Trice Landing Park provides access to the Cumberland River system in Clarksville, Tennessee, situated along what is effectively a major impoundment known as Lake Barkley. The Cumberland River in this region is a substantial waterway with an average flow of approximately 39,000 cubic feet per second and a gentle slope of 1.2 feet per mile, making it suitable for a variety of water activities. The access point serves boaters, paddlers, and anglers looking to explore this major river system that drains over 17,000 square miles of the Cumberland River basin.

As a major river system classified as Stream Order 8, the Cumberland River at this location can accommodate multiple boat types and skill levels. The moderate velocity of around 4.4 feet per second combined with the generally low gradient suggests relatively manageable water conditions for most boaters, though paddlers should always be aware that a major river can experience variable conditions depending on dam releases and seasonal flow changes. The proximity to Clarksville makes this an accessible launch point for day trips and longer paddling adventures on the Cumberland River.

Visitors should check current water levels and flow conditions before launching, as the Cumberland River system is managed by multiple dams that can affect water conditions. Local regulations and any seasonal restrictions should be confirmed with Montgomery County or Tennessee Parks and Recreation authorities before your visit.
