Summer Activities to Enjoy at Georgia Wildlife Management Areas and Public Fishing Areas
Don't let the summer slip away - it's time to put your finger on the map and pick a location (or two), and make a few day trips to public land. Or, for the more adventurous, make it an overnight camping trip! Georgia Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and Public Fishing Areas (PFAs) provide a multitude of opportunities to get outdoors and be active.
At Georgia WMAs and PFAs, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, such as fishing, hiking, bird-watching, and camping. Visitors - take note that fish and wildlife are more active early in morning/late in evening during hot summer months. Want to make it more fun? Set up a family challenge before you go:
- Who can catch the most or the biggest fish?
- Who can spot the biggest variety of birds or wildlife?
- Who takes the best nature "selfie" during a hike?
However you explore, know that Georgia has areas open for you!
Excursion Tip: While all Georgia PFAs have comfort facilities, most WMAs do not, so be sure to do a little research on the area you select to plan accordingly for your adventure.
While visiting, be sure to stay safe and follow state public health guidelines, such as washing your hands throughout the day. If in areas that have more people than your family group (such as a boat dock or trailhead), be sure to wear a mask and social distance.
