Site Description: Forks of the River WMA has access to the Will Skelton Greenway (paved) that runs south out of Knoxville. The WMA has mixed hardwood forests and crop fields with a cedar lined dirt road just past the parking lot. The greenway provides views of the river in many places.



Wildlife to Watch: Songbird migration can be excellent in the park along the greenway. Deer and turkey may be seen year round. Sparrows are common in the hedgerows and old fields. General wildlife viewing is excellent at this site, especially with the paved greenway access.

NOTE: Please refer to TWRA Hunting Guide about hunting seasons and public access dates. Access dates vary by site.
