River Road at Taylorsville Lake WMA Closed Due to Flooding
All gates on River Rd at Taylorsville Lake WMA are closed due to flooding, making the area unsafe to access. River Rd will remain closed until floodwaters recede and staff can safely remove debris and perform necessary repairs. Staff are monitoring the situation daily and will reopen all gates once it is safe to do so.βββ
If the flood waters recede and the area is safe to access before the opening weekend of the general turkey season (April 12-13), the previously announced plan regarding access to the area will commence. In that plan, the gates will remain closed opening weekend, but unlike past years, the road will reopen for the remainder of the spring turkey season (April 14-May 4) to provide greater access for both turkey hunters and anglers targeting the riverβs popular white bass run.βββ
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
