The U.S. Army Corps of engineers would like to remind everyone to practice water safety by wearing your life jacket while participating in water related activities throughout the Labor Day Holiday Weekend. Remember “It only works if you wear it.”
Physically Challenged Fishing Day
The 25th Annual Fishing Day for the Physically Challenged is scheduled for September 10 at 8 a.m. Physically challenged individuals of all ages are invited to Chickasaw Hill Recreation Area for a day of fishing, food and fellowship.  Park Rangers and Volunteers will be standing by in this area to greet and load fishing participants onto pontoon boats.  
Boats are furnished and operated by volunteers who take these guests onto the lake for a morning of fishing.  After a morning of fishing they will return for a fish fry with all the trimmings, which is prepared and served by volunteers of Chickasaw Hill Recreation Area and community.  After lunch, a drawing is held for door prizes that have been furnished by local businesses and volunteers.
