I did not have the information to give, so im glad someone could. Where I was shown that a dive search needed to happen was where the railroad tracks cross over at Shelby Bottoms Park. There is about a 75 yard radius from there to a tiny boat dock down stream. I have been told that there is a lot of junk in the Cumberland and im sure "something" is getting hung up in that area. I have also been shown the dam that you spoke of, so I believe a search at the area I mentioned along with a search down at the dam needs to happen ASAP! Many thanks for your input!

It is near the park.The flow rate sometime will reach over 100.000 cubic feet per second somtimes.Having a home on the river I have seen large trees draging the bottom of the river at high flow rates.I think the person would be in Cheatham County,down from nashville where the river spreads out at the dam.The mussel divers that I have talk with over the years have said that in the summer with a low flow rate that they can see about 6 to 8 inches.The water level in the summer is about 16 to 18 ft in most places.The barges go up stream about 2 times a day.The coal ones that go to the steam plant draw about 10 Ft of water.If you watch the water at the edge of the bank when they go up stream they suck the bottom out of the river and the river sides.
