Marrowbone Lake is a 60-acre family fishing lake managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), located in Davidson County near Joelton, approximately 15 miles north of Nashville.

The lake operates as part of TWRA's family fishing program and is designed primarily for fishing activities rather than general recreational paddling.

Access to the lake requires a fishing license for anyone over 13, plus a daily lake permit ($6) or annual permit ($48) in addition to standard licensing requirements.

The lake features a boat launching ramp and allows personal boats, though gasoline-powered motors are prohibited - only trolling motors are permitted.

Boat rentals are available on-site for $8-10 per day, including paddles, with trolling motor rentals for approximately $40. The lake is open from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset daily.

Facilities include restrooms, a fishing pier, picnic areas, and a small tackle shop that sells licenses, permits, bait, and basic refreshments. A handicapped-accessible fishing dock is available.

Kayak fishing does occur on the lake, with visitors reporting seeing other kayakers fishing during their visits.

However, the lake's regulations strictly prohibit activities other than fishing, including swimming, water skiing, and recreational boating not related to fishing.

Fish species present include largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish, and trout, with TWRA stocking trout during winter months (December, January, and February).

The small size and no-wake restrictions create calm water conditions suitable for kayak fishing. The setting features scenic surroundings with winding roads through lush vegetation leading to the lake.

However, visitors should be aware that this is primarily a managed fishing facility with specific regulations rather than a general recreational paddling destination.
