See an intriguing marvel of engineering in the Old Hickory Lake in Gallatin, Tennessee. This is a lake that was built entirely by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
See how this lake is formed by a lock and dam. The setup secures the water that goes into the lake, thus ensuring it does not overflow. The surface of the lake has an elevation close to the same as the rest of the lake. This especially assists in reducing the levels of the Cumberland River. As a result, the City of Gallatin or Nashville among other spots nearby will not be at an extreme risk of flooding.
Bring your boat out to the Old Hickory Lake. There are eight public marinas and dozens of sites where you can park your boat. Two campgrounds are also available with reservations taken regularly. The lake itself is around a hundred miles in length so it should be easy for you to find a space to get your boat out to.
Visit the local arboretum outside Gallatin, TN. The area contains dozens of types of trees. Much of the arboretum surrounds a large portion of the lake and even has unique ornamental grasses.
