The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division has made some recent improvements for hunters on Oaky Woods Wildlife Management Area.
- There is a new kiosk at the fork coming into the WMA. This makes picking up a map or a copy of the Hunting Regulations more convenient if you’re not stopping by the check station. This was completed for an Eagle Scout project with the Boy Scouts of America.
- The cut-through road has been re-opened for the first time in nearly a decade …
- … with repairs made to the breach in the crossing with a new culvert.
- Rusted out culverts on the Loop Road at the Big Grocery crossing have been replaced.
- The campground has been expanded and improved.
- Some roads that have been closed to vehicle traffic for years have been opened and graveled.
- New permanent firebreaks can be used for hunter access and areas to hunt.
