Directions and Factoids
Directions: From Nashville, 5 miles east on I-40 to Stewarts Ferry Pike exit, right on Stewarts
Ferry Pike, left on Bell Rd.
Factoid: The Nashville District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers welcomes you to J. Percy Priest
Lake. The lake provides a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities for millions
of visitors each year. Because of the temperate climate and relatively long
recreation season, visitors have numerous activities from which to choose, including:
fishing, hunting, camping, picnicking, boating, canoeing, hiking, horseback riding,
and others. Because of the lake's proximity to Nashville (15 minutes from downtown)
lakeside recreation can fit nicely into your other vacation plans.
