Hunting

The best opportunity for hunting near Lake Greeson lies within the Lake Greeson Wildlife Management Area.  This area is made up of approximately 22,000 acres of Weyerhaeuser Company land, 11,000 acres of International Paper land, 1200 acres of Potlatch Forest Inc. land and 2000 acres of Corp of Engineer property.  The Lake Greeson Wildlife Management Area was established in 1981.  The primary objective of this management area is to provide quality wildlife habitat and public hunting opportunities. Typical Athens Piedmont Plateau, rolling hills intensively managed for pine production and pine/hardwood mixed composition along creeks comprise the majority of the area.

Access points on the west can be found along Hwy 369 between Nashville and Newhope, while from the north, Weyerhaeuser Rd 25520 off of Hwy 70 leads onto the area. From Murfreesboro, take Hwy 19 to Narrows Dam and follow the signs to the Parker Creek Campground, located within the management area in the western shore of the lake. 

Deer, quail, turkey, squirrel, and rabbits are the primary game hunted.
Wildlife management practices are integrated with timber management practices to provide quality wildlife habitat and hunting opportunities. These management practices provide substantial open land habitats and stimulate excellent browse production.
