The Long Hunter boat ramp provides easy access to the Stones River and J. Percy Priest Lake, a popular 14,000-acre reservoir just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. This public access site is jointly managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and Metro Parks.
The boat ramp allows paddlers, canoeists, and motorized boaters to launch directly into the tranquil Stones River, which flows into the larger J. Percy Priest Lake. The lake offers excellent opportunities for fishing, water skiing, and other recreational water sports. Anglers can target a variety of game fish, including bass, crappie, and catfish.
For those looking to explore the area further, the adjacent Anderson Road Campground provides a convenient place to set up base camp. Visitors can also discover the natural and cultural attractions of Long Hunter State Park, which borders the lake. Whether you're an avid paddler or power boater, the Long Hunter boat ramp is an ideal launch point to enjoy the scenic Stones River and J. Percy Priest Lake.
