Percy Priest / Hamilton Creek Marina

I thought I should start with the place I row most often. My scull is kept at Hamilton Creek Marina along with several other boats. The Nashville Rowing Club, Vanderbilt & MBA all row out of the marina. I've logged 100,000's of meters on this lake and know it well (traveling backwards). Most mornings during the summer I am launching along with the fishermen and occasional kayaker or fellow rower. I've encountered NASCAR bass boats, ducks & many birds as they approach me with curiosity and yes even swimming deer. I enjoy the fall, spring and moonlight rows the most.

Percy Priest has many recreational opportunities! Besides the sailors out of the Percy Priest Yacht Club, I share the cove with scullers, sweep rowers, canoeist, kayakers, swimmers (sunday mornings) and boaters of all types. We have a nice area for launching boats off the rowing dock or wet launching (this is having to walk the boat in the water then straddle to get in).

Percy Priest is definitely a 5 oar rating. New rowers are always welcome and similar to the spirit of Nashville, everyone is friendly. So if you are ever in e Nashville area and want to check out Hamilton Creek Marina, come on! It's a great place to start rowing adventures.

The black skinny thing in the middle is my boat.  I've named the boat Take Flight and he rests here every day waiting for our next journey out of his slip.

This is a view from the rowing dock I launch off of at Hamilton Creek Marina.  I've seeen many sunrises and this morning is just as spectacular.

Another shot from the rowing dock looking out past the sailboat marina.

Stern shot.  I've made it to the end of the cove and am about to turn and head back out.
