Be mindful that it is a NO WAKE ZONE on the entire riverfront to include under bridges next to the marina and extends towards Lookout Mountain - after you pass Scotties/Springhill Suites and all boat docks on riverfront. You may see rookie boaters out there making wake through there so let’s not be ONE OF THOSE GUYS 😎
