Hours: daylight hours
Seasonality: year round
Fees: none

Site Description: From the entrance sign, you can follow dirt roads in either direction, occasionally flooded and rutted with deep holes. Four-wheel drive may be required at times as one road goes through a small creek. These roads lead to 983 acres of early successional fields, reforestation, cropland, and open water along Kentucky Lake. Small pine stands are present as well.

Wildlife to Watch: Shorebirds are present when water levels are low. Waterfowl, deer, and turkey are abundant. Bald Eagles are seen regularly and nest in the vicinity of the WMA. Access to adjacent TVA property, which is mostly oak-hickory hardwood forests, provides a nice mix of passerine and other woodland birds. Open land birds commonly seen include Red-winged Blackbird, Eastern Bluebird, and Mourning Dove. Great Blue Herons are common along the water edges.

NOTE:
Please refer to TWRA Hunting Guide about hunting seasons and public access dates. Access dates vary by site.
