When we arrived, the staff was friendly and helped us get settled on the water. Two hours was the right amount of time. One hour would have been too short, but we were definitely tired by the end of two. One of the best things about this place is that it's already located on the water. You don't need to worry about hauling anything or finding somewhere to enter into the river. I'll definitely come back when I'm ready to go back out on the river.

I booked a moonlight paddle and from beginning to end, it was Ah-Maze-Ing! The staff was incredible. They were all so cheerful and helpful from check in all the way to check out. We grabbed a beer at the beer porch at check in and let me tell you, this place is adorable. The bar is set up in a tiki style and they offer several beers selections on draft as well as in bottles. After a quick walk down to the water front, we were assisted with getting our paddle boards in the water. We paddled for 2 hours and watched the sun set. The vantage point from river offered beautiful views of the sunset over our pretty city. Once we were finished, we paddled in and were helped out of the water. We never had to carry anything! You can rent paddle boards, single and tandem kayaks, and hydro-bikes. The rates are reasonable, the staff is friendly, and there is so much fun to be had. Oh, and Wednesday's they offer half price rentals!

But anyways, on the opposite side of the story.. there are plenty of floating docks for people to chill on during summer. Just sitting there listening to the bird was very peaceful.. gorgeous view.

A very neat piece of Oak Ridge history. Oak Ridge,…read moreTennessee, was established during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project, a top-secret U.S. government program to develop atomic weapons. It was officially founded in 1942. At its peak during the war, Oak Ridge's population swelled to around 75,000 people. This remarkable growth was driven by the need for a large workforce to support the development of atomic weapons, particularly the uranium enrichment process taking place at the Oak Ridge facilities. The city was shrouded in secrecy during its early years, with its existence not widely known to the public. It played a critical role in the development of the atomic bomb, including the uranium enrichment work carried out at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. There were restaurants, stores, food halls, and recreational structures built to support the city. This pool was one of those structures. This is a historic pool. It was originally constructed in 1944 by the Corps of Engineers and underwent major renovation in 1992-1993. It was reopened in the summer of 1994. The pool is spring water-fed and considered one of the largest in the nation with depths ranging from zero to 13-1/2 feet. It is located between Providence Road and Highland Avenue. It was not open when I stopped by but there is a plaque that describes it's history. It is a massive pool and easy to see from the parking lot. Their website states that it, "...is in need of major repairs as it is leaking large amounts of water each day and does not meet current code requirements. The City has selected a consulting firm to facilitate a planning process and gather data on existing conditions as well as collect community input to determine next steps for the pool."

This facility has a roomy kiddie pool with a mushroom shaped shower for the young ones to frolic through and more fountains as you enter the main pool area that cascade as you walk into the sloping beach-like larger kid area ( about 2 ft deep before reaching the buoy line barrier). As you pass the buoy barrier the decline in the pool continues to approximately 4ft before reaching the dock area; which always have 2 lifeguards constantly patrolling (and I do mean patrolling) for everyone's safety. You have a large grassy area to lie your towels down or set up a sport cover as long as it doesn't extend more that 10ft Sq. Multiple trash receptacles, that are constantly maintained and an ice cream station later in the afternoon. My family enjoys this establishment and will continue to do so.

Unfortunately, upon our check in we arrived to one dirty condo and one dirty house. The condo had not even been cleaned from the previous guests. In the house clothes were found between the sheets, the counters were sticky, beer cans were under the couches, etc. Instead of our guests arriving and relaxing, they immediately began cleaning. Wendy and Megan were aware of the situation, and failed to find solutions. Instead, they acted as if this was our problem. The office is 15 minutes away from our rentals and they never showed up to view the situation or discuss options with us in person.

We confirmed the rentals two months in advanced and reminded management/owner that the rentals were for our daughters wedding. The home was a disaster when we showed up at 4 PM. We told all of our out of town guests and local family members to be at the house at 6 PM for dinner that we were going to grill at the house. The house was so dirty it was very uncomfortable - hair and clothes in the beds, dirty dishes everywhere, empty beer cans under the couch and unfortunately more dirt. Even the propane tank was empty. So our guests, with us, had to go out and get cleaning stuff and clean the house, run the sheets in the washer and I had to go get a new propane tank. It was a total disaster. One of the condo's we rented even had crap in the toilet. Still can not believe that the owners never checked either rental after we called and let them know of the disaster. What a mess.
