Medium-sized marina with multiple covered and open docks hosting numerous boats on a lake, featuring a medium unpaved parking lot with no visible vehicles.
Cedar Grove Marina is located in the rural community of Little Barren, Tennessee, along the shores of Center Hill Lake, a man-made reservoir formed by the Center Hill Dam on the Caney Fork River, which is part of the broader Cumberland River system in the southeastern United States. This marina serves recreational boating on inland freshwater waterways, catering to activities such as fishing, cruising, and sailing amidst the scenic, hilly terrain of middle Tennessee.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
