Herb Parsons Lake Closed Due to Storm Damage

Storm damage received at Herb Parsons Lake.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has closed Herb Parsons Lake until further notice due to storm damage from straight-line winds that occurred on Sunday, 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 Tennessee TWRA Family Fishing lakes are open. Fishermen and women can find more information about Tennessee’s Family Fishing Lakes by visiting here.
