The staff was very responsive via Dockwa app and helped out with reservation changes. I couldn't be happier with their prompt friendly service. The single, linear dock has needed repairs. The power pedestal worked fine for our 50A needs. The dock was clean and had sufficient trash cans. The location is absolutely in the heart of downtown Nashville; with that comes noise and the potential for crime. The existing gate to the dock is insufficient and has a combination lock and chain for lockage. Other than needed repairs on the dock, there's not much else that can be done to improve the docking facilities until the city of Nashville begins to take seriously its relationship to the river. We had a good time the two nights we were docked. Boaters should know this is not a quiet safe marina, but rather an expensive limited dockage in the heart of the Nashville tourist zone.

The trip to downtown Lock One Marine Nashville Municipal Dock was easy and uneventful. Docking was simple with an attendant (Kevin)that was very helpful. We arrived around 1:00pm and departed around 6:00 PM.

No power, terrible access, high cost
Marina Response:
David, It looks like you docked on the West Bank Fixed Dock for some reason. Please read our profile page or give us a call to better understand the amenities and dock locations. The East Bank T-Dock has power and secure gate access with a gangway. Though you did not purchase power which is required to use the power. The West Bank is a voluntary overflow dock for easier access to broadway. You chose that dock and there is no power there as described and no secure gate. please reach out to us next time if you have questions on this so we can better set the expectations of what you might be looking for! Always here and happy to help!

All was in order. Person assisting me was very helpful even I didn't have a reservation but he gave me time after my arrival to make reservation.

Would love to see the fencing at the entrance improved. It’s really a joke and easily scaled .

Stayed there 10/14/23 Dock Master was awesome and a big help. 50 Amp at the post was very marginal. My panel was only showing 102 volts. Also there is no water. After Paying $127.00 for one night. It should be a 5 star facility.I will come back. But get it together City of Nashville.

Very clean and convenient.

We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back next year. The only issue we had were the smaller boats going to fast which created wakes. The area was very clean and I felt safe. Thank you and hope to be back next year.

Fabulous setting, easy walk over the bridge to all of the action.

by Matthew S. on Oct 04, 2023
Always had a good experience going downtown. The people running the dock are always on the ball and eager to accommodate. Makes you wonder if downtown Nashville is ever going to figure out they have a river and cater to that wonderful element.
Marina Response:
Thank you Matthew, Appreciate your feedback. Yeah we are working on making more visibility to Nashville about the Gem of the Cumberland. Starting to turn heads here and there but constant change! Hope to see you again this year.

Dock is clean, well lit and 50 amp worked well. Gate system takes some getting use to and facility has no water or restrooms. Great location near Broadway and Pedestrian Bridge.

Great people, great location.

by Tim F. - Verified user on Sep 11, 2023
The reservation process and subsequent conversation with the employee was great. But this is the 3rd time that my party has reserved to stay downtown and the lock would not allow us through. It just seems unfair that you can’t offer a refund when we don’t get to stay due to this. It is out of our control and seems to happen on the regular. Perhaps a new policy can be out in place.
Marina Response:
Hey Tim, Thanks for the feedback, sir. Here is what we recommend for anyone coming from the lake. 1. Plan ahead and call the lock several days in advance, the day prior etc. You will need to go through at their schedule not necessarily yours, unfortunately. 2. Make your reservation on the day of once you are through the lock. A majority of the time on non-event weekends the docks have plenty of space for day-of reservations. You can call/text in the morning to check availability. 3. The lock is also out of our control so we cannot offer refunds due to the locks - we too would rather have the docks full and everyone be there! If you reach out we are usually flexible with people and allow a one-time reschedule if they notify us in advance to try and refill the spot on event weekends. Thanks again and hope we can see you downtown soon. Best. LOMS

Everything was great especially the staff but I wish all of the electric power worked, and water was available
Marina Response:
Thanks for the feedback Greg, great having you down at Riverfront. Yes we’ve been asking the city for water for years now. No luck yet. In regards to power I know you said it tripped one time at night but then worked the following day with no issues. Feel free to reach out to us with more details if it did not continue to work so we can record it for that pedestal to see if it’s a consistent issue or just boat related. Thank you!

Clay is a great attendant!
Marina Response:
Thank you Cory!

Andrew was very helpful and informative. We left our boat docked overnight and everything was secure and untouched the next day. Friendly staff and a really fun spot to hang out.

Dock guy was super helpful! Thanks

by Shawn - Verified user on Aug 13, 2023
Everything was great except power didn’t work
Marina Response:
Hey Shawn, Thanks for the review sir. Sorry, that power didn't work. I think you spoke with Clay and mentioned your vessel not working with GFI's at any marina. We will keep an eye on this for repairs as needed.

by David E. - Verified user on Aug 11, 2023
There are no restrooms available here. Supposedly they are open during the day but we did not see that. Very convenient to downtown. Gate has a combination lock on it. Pontoon saloon operates from here as well and their crew were very courteous. Price was high for the lack of amenities compared to other marinas but location makes up for it.
Marina Response:
Hey David, Thanks for the review! When Metro Parks and or our staff is onsite we ensure the restrooms are open. They are located in near the concession in the White Bridge Building near the docks underneath the bridge. Next time you are here please ask and we are happy to open them for you. Safe travels and thank you again!

Great stay, no issues with getting in and off the dock or shorepower.

Want to say that Clay really made our trip by introducing us to the dock and taking care of our arrival and departure. Nice young man! One thing, would have liked some fresh water at the dock to fill up fresh water tank on boats, but other than that it was just perfect! Great location, we ill for sure be back!

With your reservation at the docks, you have access to nearby bars, restaurants, restrooms, parks, and event center locations such as Nissan Stadium, Ascend Amphitheater Ryman, etc. Please read the below thoroughly before booking.

DOCKING LOCATIONS (see marina map for more details on location):

T-DOCK EAST BANK (linear pier): Floating concrete dock with 380' of usable dock space, 5 electrical pedestals and secure gate access. Located on the east bank near Nissan Stadium and is an easy 10 min walk over the pedestrian bridge to broadway.

WEST BANK FIXED DOCK: Fixed concrete dock, no power access or secure gate access. This dock is primarily for overflow or if you request to utilize this dock due to proximity to Broadway. We are not responsible for your vessel so please plan accordingly as this is not a secure dock. We recommend boats over 30' utilize this space when needed due to the higher freeboard required to access the concrete landing over the railing. To request this location insert "West Bank Fixed Dock" into the special request line when making a reservation. Please note once assigned to the West Bank you cannot switch to the east bank if those docks are fully reserved.

ELECTRICAL: The dock has (2) 30 and (1) 50 Amp/208 GFI breakers per pedestal, please ensure you are equipped with the latest grounding technology on your vessels not to trip the breakers.

LENGTH OVER ALL: Please input the Length Over All (LOA) of your vessel in Dockwa correctly, we have limited dock space and are typically full during the weekends, LOA Includes swim platforms, dingies, and pulpits that all extend past the vessel length. Expect to be docked within 2-3' of the nearest vessel as we try to maximize access to our dock being that we are so limited on space with 380' of linear dockage available.

GATE CODE ACCESS: To access the gate code please log into your Dockwa account within 24 hours of your scheduled arrival date. Select TRIPS and the most recent trip details for additional information. Pre-arrival emails are sent prior to arrival with Marina Map and Gate code access. Please lock the gate behind you as you depart or arrive back at the dock.

OLD HICKORY LAKE: Lock Master (we recommend calling ahead for barge schedule to plan accordingly): 615-847-3281. We do not issue refunds if the lock is full all day and they will not let you through until late in the day, plan accordingly.

FUEL & WATER: is not currently offered at our marina. If you are coming from downriver you can access amenities at Harpeth Shoals Marina (recommended for draft over 3.5’) and Rock Harbor Marine.


Booking Info

Please review the attached "known obstruction" document to avoid dock issues. There is a known underwater obstruction between the bridge pier and the docks. All vessels with greater than 3' draft should avoid this area. Please avoid the water under the bridge as your running gear may not have clearance.

Please Note: Please use caution when entering the area of the dock on the East Bank. The area shown in red should be avoided by all vessels that draft more than 3' as there is a known obstruction in the vicinity of this area located under the bridge. The water both upstream and downstream is safe for dockage. Upon dockage, you will notice that the area in question is restricted with barricades.
