Georgia Public Fishing Areas

The dog days of summer soon will end and it will be time to again get serious about fishing. Finding smaller ponds and lakes with public access is sometimes difficult. To alleviate this problem the Georgia Department of Natural Resources manages 11 Public Fishing Areas located around the state.

In total these areas offer 135 separate ponds and lakes covering 2,735 acres of water. The lakes range from 1 acre to more than 400 acres in size. Those Public Fishing Areas are Big Lazer Creek (Talbot County), Dodge County, Evans County, Flat Creek (Houston County), Hugh G. Gillis (Laurens County), Marben (Jasper County), McDuffie (McDuffie County), Ocmulgee (Pulaski County), Paradise (Berrien County), Rocky Mountain (Floyd County) and Silver Lake (Decatur County).

For more details and exact locations visit the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division website.
