Jackson river project aims to reduce flooding, add public access

A 985-acre conservation project along the South Fork of the Forked Deer River aims to reduce flood risk in parts of Jackson before officials say they eventually plan to open the property for public access. The land sits south of U.S. Highway 70 and west of U.S. Highway 45 on Jackson's southern edge, according to a community announcement. The West Tennessee River Basin Authority is developing a restoration plan and timeline that would reconnect the river with its floodplain, slowing water flow, reducing erosion, and lessening flood risk in East Jackson and Bemis, officials say. The property was formerly owned by the Jones Family Trust. The Nature Conservancy and The Conservation Fund purchased it in 2025, then sold it to the State of Tennessee in 2026. “Rivers need room and channelized rivers are limited. By reconnecting the river to the floodplain, we can reduce challenges like flash flooding and sediment pollution – improving water quality, wildlife habitat and our quality of life in the Jackson area,” said David Blackwood, executive director of the West Tennessee River Basin Authority. Why the South Fork is being restored The South Fork of the Forked Deer was straightened and channelized in 1916 to drain

TN groups aim to restore South Fork of Forked Deer River floodplains

Conservation groups are celebrating the acquisition of 985 acres of land along the south fork of the Forked Deer River in West Tennessee to help restore the area’s natural landscape. For more than a century, low-lying floodplains near Jackson have been drained to accommodate railways, highways and row-crop farming, exposing residents to flash floods and disrupting wildlife habitats. Kendall McCarter, chief development officer for the Tennessee Wildlife Federation, hopes to see the return of towering oak and hickory trees and aquatic species, like mussels, to help filter the river. "To think that we can bring that back to this area of the community that is really not very attractive but also ecologically lifting what is there, is just really cool," McCarter emphasized. McCarter credited a coalition of conservation groups working with area residents to secure the state’s purchase of the land. He said once the flood risk is minimized, the public can help plan and develop the rest of the project. Some of the ideas being floated include recreational trails, a nature center and new areas for kayaking. The West Tennessee River Basin Authority is developing a restoration timeline, which also includes public education about rivers and floodplains. The project
