Whether you are looking for an adrenalin rush or the chance to kick back and relax you can find it. For <A href="http://www.tip-a-canoe.com/">canoe trips Nashville</A> has unparalleled variety.

Tennessee is a mountainous state. Any Dolly Parton fan can reel off several of those Smokey Mountain legends she narrates in her songs. Nashville sits in a large basin area and is surrounded by rivers and lakes. This means there are many different ways to spend a day on the water. Spring and autumn are great times to visit to avoid the humidity of the summer. Boat tours are not available in the winter months.

Canoe trips are available for just a few hours up to several days. There are many campsites along the lake edges and riverbanks which are used by local tour companies. They can usually provide a package trip with everything included and an experienced guide. Family trips are popular in the area as the waterways are safe for young people.

As well as river trips Percy Priest Lake has lots of water sports and adventure activities. There are jet skiis, water skiing, boat ramps, pleasure cruises, canoes and even an obstacle course for kayaks. The lake is hugely popular with day trippers and has several campsites for tents and Rvs. It is like an aqua playground for all the family.

The area is renowned for its rich bird life. There are several tour operators offering bird watching trips using canoes. They are such a quiet way to enjoy the waterways that they do not scare off the wildlife. There are also some lovely animals to see including river otters, beavers, white tipped deer and turtles basking on logs and rocks. The Cumberland River is a particularly good spot for sightings.

The area has tons of places to put a kayak in the water. Harpeth River is one of the most popular spots due to the rugged beauty and variety of wildlife. There is an unbroken stretch of one hundred and twenty file miles of class one river to explore. Guides are usually provided and there are basic campsites with showers to spend the night. These trips are perfect for family groups as the waters are slow and safe.

Fishing is very popular in Tennessee as the state has an incredible range of fish species. Around the city there are several sites for hauling in a large bass for dinner. Other popular catches are Crappie and Tennessee Stripers. Lots of tour agencies run trips to fish from the land and from canoes. The lakes are also really well stocked providing excellent fishing right through the season. Licenses can be purchased online.

Nashville offers so much more than music to its visitors. There are lots of parks and green spaces within the city and then just outside is a natural wonderland. The rivers and lakes of the Nashville Basin are perfect for canoeing trips of all kinds. There are places for family vacations and plenty of adventure on offer too. Line dancing by night and paddling by day, that sounds like a fun vacation.
