Illegal Hunting Activity in Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park
July 17, 2024 · Source: National Park Service
Hunting and trapping date back to the indigenous peoples who first inhabited the local area, and even to this day, people venture to private and public lands to harvest small and big game. The US Forest Service allows hunting on 650,000 acres in 10 TN counties, TVA provides 175,000 acres, and TWRA makes over 7,000 acres available to the public for hunting. However, not all public land is open to hunting. Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park is closed to all hunting and trapping.
