The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is in the process of changing the former Hidden Harbor Marina site in Dekalb County, Tenn. to a Habitat Restoration Area. This designation allows the Corps to restore this area while keeping public access to the water available.
In 2007, Hidden Harbor Marina relocated approximately one mile downstream to the former Holmes Creek Recreation Area, most of which was closed by the Corps in 2003. Earlier this year, the marina owners completed the demolition and removal of the marina’s facilities at the former site, and restored the area.
This new designation of this site as a Habitat Restoration Area will allow the Center Hill Lake staff to use a management strategy designed to improve wildlife habitat by returning the area to its most natural state, while allowing the launching ramp and paved parking lot to remain open for public use.
For information concerning this action, contact the Center Hill Lake Resource Manager’s office at (931) 858-3125 or (615) 548-4521.
