MCDONOUGH — While the colder weather this time of year drives some people indoors, the Henry County Water Authority (HCWA) is offering opportunities for the public to enjoy outdoor recreation
McDONOUGH â While the pandemic shut down businesses, facilities, and many events for long stretches this past year, one of the few safe, socially distanced activities available to offer recreational stress release to the public was the regular fishing season at select reservoirs of the Henry County Water Authority.
The 2021 fishing season kicked off this week, as the authority offers two reservoirs for public access through Nov. 28. The HCWA Tussahaw and Upper Towaliga Reservoirs will be open weekly on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
In addition, public fishing will be open on Memorial Day (May 31), Fatherâs Day (June 20), Independence Day (July 4), and Labor Day (Sept. 6). The reservoirs will be closed on Easter Sunday (April 4) and Motherâs Day (May 9).
