Chick off limits areas

[rmac54923]

Can anyone help clarify the off limits area out of Dayton? I cannot find any info on the TWRA site, not user friendly. I believe it starts on the 15th and think it applies to the L side headed down toward Hiawassee Island, but wanted to get some confirmation so I dont run into any issues! Thanks!

Everything I can find about the Hiawassee Refuge says the 15th of Nov.

Does anyone know of any map that shows the areas where you cannot leave the channel boueys?

Look on twra website and look at the wma maps.

You must stay in the channel from the Hiwassee Island to the HWY 58 bridge.

why is it off limits. just curious

 

[rmac54923]

Migratory birds sanctuary. The only map I have shows from Richland creek all the way to Hiawassee and then up to 58.

You may pass thru that stretch but you must stay INSIDE the channel markers or you could receive a hefty $$$$ from TWRA.

TNSnow, I sent you an email with the map. Can you add it to the post please? I cannot get it to work. Thanks!

The Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge is 6,000 acres (2,500 acres of land and 3,500 acres of water) located on Chickamauga Lake at the confluence of the Hiwassee River and Tennessee River. Beginning at Hwy 60 (over the Tennessee River, about river mile 499.5), the refuge stretches to around river mile 505 at Armstrong Bend and from the mouth of the Hiwassee River upstream to Hwy 58 at Agency Creek (about river mile 7.4). Included is Hiwassee Island (400 acres)
