FAYETTE COUNTY — The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency will close Herb Parsons Lake until further notice. The closure is due to storm damage from straight-line winds on June 25, 2023.
A storm with 70 mph straight-line winds significantly damaged the lake area. The area has broken utility poles, downed electrical lines, several downed trees, and structural damage to a building. Due to the dangerous environment with leaning trees and downed electrical lines throughout the property, Herb Parsons will be closed to visitation. It will take several months to make the repairs to the area.
Other West TN TWRA Family Fishing lakes are open, including Carroll Lake and Garrett Lake in Weakley Co. Fishermen and women can find more information about Tennessee’s Family Fishing Lakes at https://www.tn.gov/content/tn/
