We enjoy going here with the kids and family sometimes to eat and enjoy the lake view. It can however be a particular place to visit and the crowds can vary. The weekend afternoons and evenings are a bit more on the teenager hang out spot. So go during the earlier hours of the week and its pretty laid back. It is not the best lake to visit as Old Hickory proceeds its reputation as being a dirty and trashy lake. I would suggest Percy priest if you plan to actually get into the water or go out into it.

Great little free launch. Wide enough to launch 3 wide. 2 docks to tie up on, plenty of trees for shade and hanging a hammock. Cement picnic tables and restroom is 100 yard walk. Parking was sufficient.

Nice park and boating area. You have a slip and docks to launch your boat or keep it in the marina. There is a nice park and Pavillion area as well for those who are not boaters but can enjoy the open area. We were able to use the lake for baptism so it was a nice treat for everyone during this coronavirus time.

There is a great boat ramp, playground, picnic area, and dock here! The bathrooms were dirty though. That’s the only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars.

Wonderful park love it very relaxing place just set back listening to the birds,ducks,boats and all the sounds ️️ watching the wildlife there ️ taking a lunch or dinner and drilling out. When my kids were young we would go there a lot, for breakfast,lunch and dinner. They liked going for breakfast the most I would take everything and cook three even biscuits. We would go after school,all year round really,my son Chickie was eating a taco once and a big goose came up and took it right out of his hands,he was about four at the time,made him so mad. We started bringing bird seed to give to them. Just a few of my favorite memories of this park️got more with my grandkids too️ fall is the best️ so go visit have fun and just watch and listen and relax. Hope you enjoyed this Carol

Love this place to just go relax. Always friendly people around fishing. Just watch out for creeps. Have been followed into the archery range by a strange man twice. Wouldnt recommend going alone as a female on a non busy day. Other than that beautiful park. Decently clean restrooms. Good lake and dam views.

Lived next to here for three years. The first fishing i did in Tennessee was here at Rockland. There are a few times when there are too many fishing to be fun. But early morning weekdays is best. There are some huge bluegills off the dock by the fallen tree. Use crickets. :)There are covered table areas for family events. Its just a really friendly place. Ive never felt creepy here like some of the reviews try to indicate. Always better safe than sorry with littles. Keep them in sight and youll be fine. Love this place.Now i forlornly fish here in my boat from the old hickory side.

We were out for a drive and getting to know the area. We had no idea this was such a nice area. The power plant was there and it is surrounded by green lawns so its pretty. There is an archery field, and a a boat ramp too.
