The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) Catoosa Wildlife Management Area (WMA) will be impacted by road construction and closures currently taking place on Genesis Highway (State Route 298). Current road construction will likely impact hunters utilizing the Genesis Campground.
The Genesis Road closure is expected through the end of October for a road repair project south of Adam’s Bridge over the Obed River . The best access for hunters utilizing the Genesis Campground on Catoosa WMA during October hunts will be via I-40 Exit 317 to U.S. 127 North to Potato Farm Road, or from Highway 62 to Genesis Road South. As always, Catoosa WMA will be closed to public traffic during the scheduled big game hunts, and through traffic will not be permitted.
