On priest there are large no wake zones, one very accessible at the vivrette creek boar ramp, but not very deep for the most part. The other that I can think of at this time is the pooled knob area. Would be most accessible from the pooled knob camp ground boat dock but not sure if they would let you without camping there. If they did they would probably charge like 7-10 bucks. That would be where I would choose to fish from a canoe. Much safer and great fishing back there. Next closest ramp is bryants grove but you would have to cross the channel. Not something I would suggest that area of the lake. I guess stewards, fall, and spring creek wouldn't be too bad either. Both forks of the stones are nice but don't produce a ton of fish and you still have to worry about people flying around back there. Not sure on hickory. I do enjoy getting back in cedar creek when water levels allow me. You would have no problem 75% of the year in a canoe. You could launch at cedar creek marina with no problem.
