There was a sign I forgot to take a picture of a ton of rules and regulations. Unsure if you could even bring a floatie because literally says no to everything else. They do have a dock you can walk on but the water is dark and murky. Just looks creepy and I don't think I would want to swim here in the summertime.

If you want to bring your own paddle board without having to spend money.. dont. Ive always seen…read morepeople with their own paddle boards/kayaks (i have asked) and i thought it was allowed. Some of my friends have even done it there as well. I went there for my first time paddleboarding and was kicked out because it was "prohibited" even tho people were walking past us with their own paddle boards. Just a money grab. I wont lie they have pretty views so if you just want to float or relax there with your kids it is a great place, but if your wanting to paddle board or kayak with your own stuff, they will kick you out.

Process was easy and streamline and there was no hidden charges, upwelling and pretentious behavior as often common in this type of business. Max in the front office is a real gem. If you are even considering renting a boat in the Knoxville area this is the place you should go to.

I came here to do some trail riding with family. Windrock is a huge place and there are so many…read moretrails and options for outdoor entertainment and sports for all levels. There are easy up to very difficult trails, there are bike trails, and they even will bring riders up to the top along with their bike. My guess is that my group traveled around 70+ miles over the two days I was there. Now I need to replace a busted tire and a bent rim. The Windrock campground is also quite large and clean. I stayed in a tent site that had plenty of room. The parking is setup to handle visitors with trailers and extra vehicles. The bathhouses are nice and the hot water is plentiful. Overall, I had a great time. The personnel I interacted with were really knowledgeable and friendly.

My buddy and I were biking to Myrtle Beach from Colorado and this was our last campsite before the last stretch in. We did a regular campsite right behind bathhouse #2 and let me tell you...10/10 would and will camp here again. Toilets, showers, open spaces, far enough away neighbors that aren't tent camping. That shower after 1300 miles on a motorcycle was THE best. Reserving the spot the day of our arrival was even better. The gal was very helpful and made the booking process so easy. The ONLY thing...it's a bit of a steep paved road, about 1/4 mile, to get from the road to the campgrounds. But, we made it up on our motorcycles and there were several toy haulers up here as well.

I'm giving this place 5 stars because there is no other fly fishing shop in Knoxville they are…read morequite friendly and when you go in the store very knowledgeable. They have a fair amount of fly tying material and supplies but if your looking to get vises bobbins and tying accessories they do not vary those. They do not have a large selection of fly rods or reels but again you can order through them and they can get it for you. They do put line on reels and have some options for backing. This is more of a boutique fly shop in comparison to the fly shop in Townsend. They also do not sell fishing licenses here. They do have good selection of packs waders and nets and nice amount of flies for the clinch, smokies and little river.

I'm a somewhat new fly fisherman, so I get what I'm doing but still have questions and want recommendations from experienced anglers. When I asked questions about items I wanted to buy I got the vibe that I was annoying them and should just leave so they didn't have to answer questions or do work. If you are a privately owned fly shop your #1 priority should be customer service. You don't have the luxury of online sales and multiple nation wide stores for the company to succeed. So, two days later I drove all the way to Orvis in Sevierville, TN. The worker there spent 45mins with me answering questions and BSing. I ended up buying a rod, reel, a few shirts and stickers from them and will be a returning customer to Orvis for sure.

A very nice woman helped and booked our cruise. It was really nice. We did the dinner cruise. At 5:15 they started to let us on the boat. Byron took our drink order and let us know about the souvenir cup, if we wanted to buy a drink and keep the cup. Before the next group came in he answered a few questions I had and was very friendly. 6pm the cruise started. Tables were told they could go to the buffet. Food was good. I didn't like their honey mustard dressing, I asked Byron if there was any other dressing. He brought me ranch in a little cup. He was on top of refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything. I asked him so many different questions and he answered everything and shared some things to try while in Tennessee. We had our dinner and enjoyed the view. After the meal we went on the deck and enjoyed everything. At the end I thank Byron and the rest of the crew. I would do this again for sure.

Excellent service and a decent buffet lunch yet the cruise itself was disappointing. Sure, we saw…read moresome water views of the city and bridges, yet we only traveled from the docks near Volunteer Landing to Crescent Bend on the Tennessee River, a distance of approximately 3 miles. About 10 years ago we took the same boat ride and traveled farther down the River. Along the route, a man narrated our short journey pointing out buildings and markers along the way--however, with diners carrying on conversations, background music playing, dishes clanking and the engines roaring, it was difficult to hear even half of what he said. Again, the buffet lunch tasted fine, nothing outstanding, yet the chicken appeared to be seasoned with pepper and maybe a bit of salt. Perhaps a Chicken Piccata with slices of lemon in a creamy sauce or chicken-broth-seasoned sauce would have been more creative. The stewed cinnamon-sugar apples with pastry, served warm in the buffet might have been offered at the end of the food line as a dessert and in a separate dish. Instead, it appeared after the buttery biscuits and before the cold pasta salad with cucumbers and tomatoes and the hot carrots and corn. Overall, perhaps the paddle wheeler is an excellent experience for a first-time rider and a wonderful party venue for special events like weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. Having sailed twice before, this $45 per person ride (there were 4 of us) needed a more clearly-heard narration, a longer ride, and perhaps more creative food. Kudos to the servers, though! Attentive and friendly!

This employee denied the fact that historically, access to the waterfront was unrestricted and made denigrating comments about homeless people. For context: - the rental was not yet open - no customers or workers were at the dock area or on the ramp - Mead's Quarry itself is public land I will never rent from this company, and I encourage you to rent from somewhere else and/or paddle at the free, public Ijams dock on the Tennessee River instead. Knoxville shouldn't lease public land to a private company that polices its citizens.

Hoss set up all the equipment we'd need and talked us through the process, as this was our first time to fish for striped bass. We had a blast! We caught 5 fish that morning, from 5-20 pounds each, and had a great time talking with Hoss in between reeling in the fish. We ended the day around 11. Hoss also said that he also does trophy fishing, so we may do that next time we use his guiding service (fewer catches, but what you do catch is pretty dern big). Can't wait to go back!
