I live just outside of Chattanooga and pictured is Chickamuaga Lake (Tennessee River). The ramp is 5-10 from my house. I’ll be honest in the fact that I’m new to boating on this lake but have gone kayaking quite a bit. Nice lake when it’s not too busy. Seems like it can get crazy busy on the weekends tho. The area in general is awesome if you enjoy the outdoors.
Great pictures! I need to drag out my real camera once in a while, the phone takes such nice photos is almost hard to find a reason to, but real cameras are real cameras for a reason.
I think I’m going to start doing what @Julian does, hand the DSLR to a guest and challenge them to fill the memory card. I’ve lost interest in always being behind the camera and did not use any of my gopros or drones at all this season.
Put in at Racine Wi, ran up Lake Michigan to Milwaukee. Solo trip but it was still fun. All this time I didn’t realize how cool the Milwaukee River is. Tried out the new trim tabs in some real water, best mod ever!

My mom lived in Milwaukee (Oak Creek I think) for a few years. She had some friends with a boat (older 22' Celebrity), and took us out on one trip up there. Milwaukee river front was pretty neat. Wish we had more boating venues like that here!
Took this on the Ohio River in downtown Louisville, KY yesterday. 8yr old got them to blow the steam horn as well. Scared the pants out of the 17mo old
The "Belle of Louisville" takes dinner cruises a few nights a week, and is actually still steam powered, and PaddleWheel driven (not just for show). We've been a time or two, it's a neat experience to be on such an old, large, and slow boat.
Google "color popped" it for me. Original picture was a good bit darker.
Here's the Louisville skyline from the water. Toddler in foreground for scale
Ha! We did that on Saturday minus the raft up. We had the whole area to ourselves. It was awesome! We watched the Notre Dame game while we floated behind the boat. Sorry, no pics!
