The Quiet Fishing Town Near Nashville That Seems Frozen In Time

Joelton, TN is technically a Nashville neighborhood, although it couldn't be more different than the guitar-toting tourists of Music City. No, it's surrounded by stunning Tennessee beauty and boasts Marrowbone Lake, a stunning answer to the overpopulated Radnor Lake of Brentwood. Joelton is a sweet step back in time, a place where fishing is king and the people are kind. Our Tennessee cities tend to be busy but one of the greatest things is with a short drive you can be surrounded by nature and the hum of city life fades in the background. So if you are looking to get out on the water and away from the hustle and bustle take a look at one of the best fishing towns near Nashville.

Marrowbone Lake, besides having a great name, is also located in one of the best fishing towns in Tennessee, Joelton.

Marrowbone Lake covers an area of sixty acres, and boasts a boat ramp, fishing ramp, and bait & tackle resources.

We've heard from many that the integrity of the space enamors folks from the city, especially with their boat rentals and opportunity to fish, unencumbered, on the beautiful water. The promise of getting away from the busyness of the city and entering a small town in Tennessee sounds like a wonderful day. Who wouldn't want to reconnect with nature and get out by the water?

In the fall this little lake just comes alive with colors but there isn't a bad time of the year to visit the water. It truly is amazing how there is an untouched place like this just outside of the city.

If you're looking to fish, you'll find crappie, redear sunfish, blue & channel catfish, and largemouth bass in the water.

Joelton as a whole is a fairly rural community, populated by farms and multiple suburban neighborhoods that lie roughly 25 minutes from the city center. The population of the town is just over 7,000 people so you should have plenty of solitude and quiet.

The town is teeming with good people and outdoorsy folk who truly make the most of their beautiful location. Joelton has relied on farming since the 1920s, so the roots run deep.
