Old Hickory Lake is a 22,500 acre reservoir created by the Old Hickory Lock and Dam on the Cumberland River.

The lake features 440 miles of scenic shoreline, surrounded by wooded flatlands and plenty of access points. |

Nat Caldwell is quieter than some of its neighboring picnic areas, making it a wonderful place to fish, view wildlife or simply get away from it all. |
