    General Jackson

    Shila said:  “Rollin’ down the [Cumberland] river,” you'll often catch one of the largest showboats ever built, the General Jackson. Consult the steamboat's calendar to discover a unique dining experience plus dazzling entertainment upon the two-story Victorian theater to match. Music City Nights and Taste Of Tennessee midday excursions are also available throughout the week, and are quite popular for tourists and locals alike.
