It's no secret that Nashville is situated right in the middle of one of the most beautiful parts of the country. The rolling hills, tranquil rivers, and stunning forests make for absolutely breathtaking scenery around every corner, and fall is the perfect time to see it all. Just outside of downtown Nashville on Percy Priest Lake, you can see that scenery from the unique perspective offered by Blue Heron Cruises, a cruise and tour company that's dedicated to showing locals and visitors alike just how beautiful Tennessee is.
Blue Heron cruises has been offering beautiful nature cruises on the lakes and rivers of Middle Tennessee since they first opened in 2001.
Captain Jim and his boat are currently offering cruises of Percy Priest Lake, just outside of downtown Nashville, but they have also offered tours of other parts of the Cumberland River in the past.
While Blue Heron offers all kinds of cruises, including frequent sunset cruises, the best ones are their Fall Foliage tours that they offer every fall.
The foliage tours offer stunning views of the beautiful vistas, cliffs, and wooded banks of the rivers and lakes of Middle Tennessee.
The tours focus on the local history of the waterway and emphasize the importance of slowing down and noticing the beauty in the natural landscape around us. It's also a great way to take stunning pictures of the scenery and wildlife!
Speaking of wildlife, you're bound to see a lot on your cruise. Blue Herons are common, as are turtles and geese, but if you're lucky, you might even see a bald eagle!
Blue Heron Cruises often sells out, so be sure to book your tour in advance by visiting their website below or by calling their phone number. Cruises are offered Wednesday through Sunday, and they leave from the Fate Sanders Marina in Mount Juliet. We'll see you there!
