Before you buy on the lake: the dock rule that catches everyone
Old Hickory Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir, so owning a waterfront lot does not automatically give you the right to a dock.Private docks need a Corps permit, and under the 2020 Old Hickory Lake Shoreline Management Plan only certain shoreline (roughly half, the “Limited Development” areas) is even eligible — steep bluffs, narrow coves, and protected stretches are not. The smart move on any lake home is to confirm three things: the lot's shoreline classification, whether an existing permitted dock conveys, and whether a new dock is obtainable. We check all three on every home we show — call 615-265-1000.
