The Cumberland River contributes to so much of our city’s history, development, and future. Join the Civic Design Center and River Queen Voyages for an urban paddling tour of downtown Nashville. This 3-mile paddle will begin at the Shelby Park boat ramp and will highlight key elements and future developments along the way. The tour will conclude at Riverfront Park and a free shuttle will be provided back to Shelby Park.
