Do not do business with this company. Read the reviews about "the $200 cash deposit being taken due…read moreto a damaged prop." The exact same thing happened to me. They require $200 cash only for a deposit upfront. This company will claim that you damaged their prop, and that you were at fault, therefore you will not get your cash deposit back. They did not take pictures prior to getting in to the boat. But they will blame you. I never like to leave bad reviews, but this company deserves it. Stay away from these guys.

I did not read reviews before I went there and now I know why he had no customers. I think we dodged a bullet because a lot of reviews say he charges everyone for jet ski damage. I think he wanted to make the screaming match a physical altercation. He is old and cranky and needs to get out of working with the public. Hope you take my advice and find another jet ski rental business

The gate attendant and self proclaimed guy who "runs this place" came screaming up to our camping…read morespot on a golf cart, ranting and screaming asking if I "was in a hurry." I had just returned from a grocery run. I assured him that actually I was since we were packing out and moving to a different campground a day early. He insisted that I was driving above the 10 mph speed limit even though my Life360 app clocked me anywhere from 3 to 10 mph once I entered the campground. He continued to yell so I finally closed my truck door because it was too much. My husband came over and he tried to "tattle" to him and he told him I didn't stop at the stop sign on the way in. That was not entirely true. I actually saw it late and stopped just beyond it because I missed seeing it due to its placement. He peeled out on his golf cart after not being able to tell me how fast I was going. I asked him a few times and my husband asked how fast I was going and he kept screaming, "that's beside the point!" So - I had told him that unless he had a radar detector he really didn't know my speed. He must have called the park ranger, who was very kind and I explained that I was not speeding, and we had a nice conversation. I told him how incredibly rude and hateful the "person in charge," is. We continued to pack up and the sheriff drove by for the first time in our stay which I doubt was a coincidence. He didn't speak to us or stop, but the boomer in charge was giving him an earful as we were leaving. Also, the spot we were in was nearly impossible to back into because it was so narrow and there were huge drop offs on the road where you couldn't properly maneuver to back in. I am told that you can't leave an honest review on Recreation.gov because they are monitored to buy the people in charge. I will attempt to leave one once I am able, but there is a reason why this campground is rated the lowest in the area. I guarantee you it's because of the "people in charge."

They texted us in the morning to confirm our reservation then promptly met us at the Jefferson Springs boat ramp. We were quickly outfitted an off to explore. We found lots of wildlife and pristine river banks that we were free to explore as all the land on both sides of the river is public. We spent about 3.5 hours on the water and had quick lunch break in the middle at the great park where the ramp is located that is set up with picnic tables, public restrooms and grills! The Stones River company kept in touch with us and were ready at the end of our rental to promptly collect the kayaks. We would highly recommend this company for your kayak rental needs!

The playground is awesome. Taylor Swift went to high school in Hendersonville. So she herself paid for the playground equipment for the kids. And I must say the playground equipment itself is super cute! Love the castle. It's awesome to see celebrities give back to their hometown. And they have a take a book leave a book library for the kids. Amazing! 2. Such a great spot for a quick fishing trip. I always see lots of people on the shore fishing and a few in their kayaks as well. On our most recent trip, my father in law caught a small bass. Of course we let it back into the water, but my kids were so excited to see their grandpa hook one. 3. There's also a handful of tennis courts that were being perused. The walking trail is a great way to enjoy the beautiful spring weather and get some exercise! And with the scenery, it's a nice spot for a date or picnic with the family. Just be careful where you step since there are a lot of ducks roaming the area. 4. And the bathrooms are spotless!!!!! I had to throw that in there. This is such a great place for families and to enjoy the fresh air.

We wanted to get a spot on the water so we had to book exactly 6 months out. That is when the reservations open. The campground is about 35 minutes outside of Nashville. It sits on Old Hickory Lake which is a decent sized lake for watersports and fishing. There is grocery and shopping near by. We were able to take in the sights in Nashville before they closed down. Camping at Cages Bend allows for social distancing. We did not use the facilities, but they are available as is a dump station. All sites are water and electric only.

Great park. Five stars. My kids burn energy and I get to pretend I'm supervising.

This park is AWESOME!…read more For crawling babies, walking toddlers and older siblings there is something for everyone. It's also inclusive for kids in a wheelchair or needing additional assistance. There are several musical play opportunities that really interest all ages. Plenty of shaded areas for parents to sit and watch their kids explore, picnic tables in the shade, etc. We spent a couple of hours there with a 1 year old and definitely explored the whole park. One warning, always check the back and seats of the different swings as some of them get hot in different places. There is a roller hockey rink and skate park there as well. My daughter really enjoyed roller skating in the rink. The whole park was very clean, and well maintained. Can't wait to go there again.

A nice piece of greenery in Hermitage, Tennessee. The park is located at the intersection of two…read morebusy roads, so this park will never recreate the feeling as if you were away from it all. No, the sound of continuous traffic crushes that illusion, but that traffic, that hustle and bustle, is exactly why we need parks, both big and small, to simply just get some grass under our feet and decompress. The center point of the park is the Hermitage Park Sundial, a sculpture by Joe Sorci called Clear for Landing made of aircraft wings. All in all, pretty cool and I am glad I got to stand before it. One thing that stood out, at least to me, was a child scrawling "Lena was here" in a child's scrawl. Hopefully this park will remain within her memories throughout her life, a place of happy summertime laughter and the simple joy of childhood. The park also boasts a community center. Again, a tie to bond the people it serves. All on all, this park serves this community well. While there are drawbacks, the park stands in defiance of urban sprawl or perhaps it stands in celebration of a growing city, serving as a respite from the concrete and asphalt. I am glad that I visited. While perhaps I did not write my name on the sidewalk, like that child named Lena, I was here and I am better for it.

What a great find!…read more This park is a perfect spot to enjoy the few days of sunshine we have during the winter months. There are two jungle gyms, multiple swing sets and a volley ball court. There's also a few sand pits for kids to play in and dig for fossils. The parking here is tight, but there are two lots. I would recommend the lot near the rec center, there are way more available spots. Looking to have a picnic? You're in luck!, there is plenty of open space and a ton of picnic tables. Make sure to take a walk on the wooden tree bridge near the center of the park!
