Grenada Lake to Host Fish Habitat Day on Dec. 7

VICKSBURG, Miss. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announces that Grenada Lake’s Fish Habitat Day will be held on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at Gums Crossing Boat Landing. Participants will meet at the Gums Crossing boat landing at 8:00 a.m. with work lasting until around noon.

Park Rangers and volunteers will be installing wooden stake beds along the Skuna River flats and tributaries that flow into the river. A large work area will help create great fish habitat for the upcoming spring crappie spawn.

Lunch will be provided for volunteers and there will be drawings for door prizes.

Volunteers may bring ATVs and UTVs to help but must abide by helmet requirements. Volunteers need to dress for working in outdoor environments. Park Rangers will have a limited amount of hand-held post drivers available for use so volunteers that can bring additional drivers will be appreciated.

For additional information, please contact the Grenada Lake Field Office at 662-562-6261.
