Probably one of the coolest things I’ve done in Nashville. Online booking was easy, and so was finding the van in Shelby Park and checking in. Easy route and the views are excellent! Wish I could have been out there longer. The hour goes by really fast!

Wow! We highly recommend Cumberland Kayak. It's a great way to experience the city. Everyone is friendly and supportive. The river just pushes you along which was good for our group with all levels of experience and fitness. We'll be back!
