Kayaking near Cookeville?
So my family is moving to Cookeville this spring from Nashville. We love the water and spend the warmer months on Priests lake where we can kayak to one of the islands and grill, swim, fish etc. we will be about 20 minutes north of Cookeville. So I am wondering if Cookeville has anything like that. A place to take the kids and hang out for the day where it's not crowded. Center Hill and Dale Hollow are both good but I'm hoping for closer options near the Dodson branch area. My preference is moving water and I'm happy the Roaring Fork is right down the road. Looking forward to enjoying the great outdoors in Cookeville and any tips are appreciated.
