The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Issued the 2025 Memorial Day Boating Reports

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has issued the 2025 Memorial Day holiday weekend boating reports. Over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, there were no boating-related fatalities, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). The holiday weekend, which ran from Friday at 5:00 PM to Monday at midnight, is regarded as the unofficial beginning of the summer boating season. Two occurrences involving property damage were reported, along with one injury and a tubing incident on Watts Bar Lake. Furthermore, five BUI (boating under the influence) arrests were made by TWRA wildlife officers. Over the weekend, the TWRA was well-represented around the state. According to agency officials, the majority of the weekend was characterized by cool temperatures and rain, which prevented as much recreational boating as usual.
