Cheatham Lock and Dam

Very clean, even on Labor Day weekend. Family BBQ, enjoyed by all!

It would depend on what it is you are looking for. The beach area was unfortunately so packed you would barely have room for your family. Fishing around the locks and launch was great. Long area where you can spread out and enjoy the peacefulness of the river.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District operates and maintains this navigation lock on the Cumberland River in Ashland City, Tennessee. The lock accommodates commercial and recreational vessels. It costs nothing for the public to utilize the lock, which is essentially a water elevator that assists boats with going upstream and downstream through the dam.

Awesome family park and picnic area. Fishing was not good, but maybe due to invasive carp problem plaguing many waterways. The Dam and Lock were very cool. The entire area was well maintained and clean. The boat ramp was steep, be careful!
