  • Marina Review for Nashville Municipal Dock

    I feel terrible for giving them three stars for something out of their control, but potential guest must be aware. We like the docks, their electric pedestal work fine, they have trash receptacles available, it is clean, water depth is great, Harbor Master is friendly and helpful, and they are close to downtown. The issue is safety. We were there alone on a Friday night. We woke up to a thief inside our boat. He had used tools to bypass their pad lock of the main gate. He had shut off the entire dock main power and disconnected our power cord from the pedestal. We spooked him away and he did not still anything. The police came 20 to 30 minutes later and attempted to get a description and find finger prints. No hope on the prints. We were jumpy the rest of the night and had a terrible sleep. I would recommend a better lock system for their gate and a camera to discourage potential perpetrators.

    We are here and we have had calm winds from the West and South West. It is shallow on the south entrance, so avoid it. Enter using the only entrance on the east side of the anchorage. We anchored north of the entrance - protected From the North, East, and West. Although, the south is exposed, it would be difficult for the surge to enter strong since it does not have a direct open to the open lake. We are staying through the night and are enjoying the view of the shoreline as it is light up all the way to the Kenosha lighthouse. The houses on top of the bluff are a great addition to the calm feeling of this spot.
