Middle TN small rivers- ramps and general access private or public

[jladdsmith]

Don't know if this should be in the boating section or here.

Yay!  Just brought this home: http://www.microskiff.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1268862682/11

The plan is to convert it to the ultimate small river machine for smallie fishing/general warmwater species (at least until the Caney gets back in shape).

I'm a little frustrated with the lack of access to rivers in middle TN.  We live near the 70/100 split, and want to find a convenient place to get in and out of the Harpeth/Little Harpeth and other small rivers around the area.  Unless I'm just looking in the wrong place, there are no public ramps anywhere around!  Rivers all over the place and no way to get in there.   

So, I'll pose this question to the board: 

Does anyone know of ANY place we can put this little gem into the water?  We're not waterskiing or tearing anything up (brought home 3 bags of other peoples trash this weekend from the Rope Swings off of Moran Rd area). 

Are there unlisted public ramps, or even any private land owner who might accept a small launch fee for access?  We don't even really need a ramp per se, just easy(ish) access to the river.  I have a tilt trailer and winch! 

This baby needs to get wet (and scratched up)!

Thanks to anyone who can help.

PM me if you'd rather not post here.

It is a statewide breakdown.

I don t  know how far you are from Columbia but the Duck river has 3 ramps on it in various parts  of the river and it is a fun river to fish the doesn t have much fishing pressure on it esp in the section between the duck river dam and Chickasaw Trace State Park
