LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – The gravel portion of the Lonas Young Park, the White Bridge Park, parking and ramp areas was paved on Thursday thanks to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).
Campbell County Commissioner Rusty Orick sent a resolution to the TWRA, and with the support of the County Commission, was able to garner funds, $111,405.85, from the TWRA for this project. “It’s been about three years in the making, and this revenue came from license purchases,” said Orick.
“This is just in time for this weekend’s fishing tournament and the big fishing tournament next weekend,” Orick added.
Paving at the Mattie Randolph Access area on Pine Hollow Road, off Pinecrest Road, is scheduled to soon be paved according to Orick. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 03/18/2022-6AM)
How can we request making a new public access for the south demory area? even something small for kayaks, canoes, and jon boats would be nice for the communities down here.
Thank you for your response, Joe.
Calling one of your county commissioners might be a good first step.
Best,

I agree , since we have lost Heatherly Point and Rainbow to private Owners
