Welcome Artists


Nashville Paddle Co. welcomes musicians and crew to Music City.

We offer standup paddleboard lessons, board rentals for experienced paddlers, guided tours and paddleboard yoga classes just 20 minutes from downtown on Percy Priest Lake. (We even have waterproof ukuleles to borrow if that’s your thing.)

Rates: Most classes are 90 minutes and cost $25-$45/person. A full rate schedule is listed here.

Have a few hours off before sound check? A day off while in town? Grab a swim suit or shorts, sunscreen and come join us. We provide all the gear—boards, paddles, PFDs, even Croakies for your sunglasses. Total time away from work (including drive) is 2.5-to-3 hours, but you’ll feel like you had a mini Music City vacation.

Guided tours on the Cumberland River downtown may be available for experienced paddlers depending on city events. Cost is $55/person. Ask for details and availability.

Transportation: To get to Hamilton Creek Recreation Area on Percy Priest Lake, we recommend driving or using Lyft. Use the code “nashvillepaddle” for $15 in ride credit from Lyft. Not a ride-sharing fan? Ask your hotel concierge for taxi cab options, or talk to us about private shuttles.

Contact: We prefer advance reservations for groups. Please call us at 615-682-1787 (1SUP) or e-mail info@nashvillepaddle.com or book online.

See you on the water.
