This Is Nashville

Paddle, paddle, paddle! Making a splash in Tennessee's scenic waterways

Listen Later

One of the gifts of living here in Middle TN is that our state is full of some of the nation’s most beautiful ponds, rivers, and lakes. There are so many ways to enjoy the water from swimming, to paddling a kayak, canoe or paddle board, to fishing. If you’re not familiar with how to jump in, how can you get started? And what do you need to know to stay safe? We’re talking with local water enthusiasts about how they’re enjoying Tennessee’s natural waterways this summer- and what you need to know to get out there to join them. Join us!
