Before You Go

Sycamore Creek Recreation Area is a peaceful day-use area managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, located about 4 miles northwest of Ashland City on Chapmansboro Road. The area features a reservable group picnic shelter, playground, restrooms, picnic tables with grills, and a boat ramp with a courtesy float — making it a convenient and low-key access point to Cheatham Lake. Whether you're launching a boat for a day on the water, gathering for a group picnic, or just looking for a quiet spot by the lake, Sycamore Creek offers a relaxed and scenic setting without the crowds of the larger recreation areas nearby.
