Explore Georgia’s designated trout streams, special-regulation and delayed-harvest water, heavily stocked streams with their latest stocking date, public land, trout fishing access and river gauges.
Check before you fish. Access, stocking and regulations here come from Georgia's own data and can be out of date. Posted signs and landowners' wishes come first, and private land needs permission. The rules that apply are in the Georgia trout regulations, and you need a valid fishing license.

Trout streams are Georgia DNR’s designated trout waters, the lines on its trout map. Segments of one named stream are joined into one entry, so a common name like Mill Creek appears once per stream.
Special regulations (artificial lures only, seasonal lure rules, reservation-only and kids-only streams) come from DNR’s special regulations layer, last updated in 2022; delayed-harvest streams are marked without dates, since the season’s end date has changed since then. Check the current regulations before fishing.
Stocked streams show the date of their latest stocking from DNR’s recently-stocked streams layer, which is updated weekly in season; DNR’s weekly report has the counts.
Highlighted banks adjoin mapped open-access public land, with a roughly 20-meter bank tolerance. Dimmed water has no adjacent open-access parcel recorded in this source. Neither determines legal entry, rights of way or permission to cross private land. Check signs, property rules and the current fishing regulations.
Access markers are source facility locations within about 800 meters of mapped water, not verified parking spaces or guaranteed entry to a particular reach. River-gauge readings describe the gauged location; a nearby gauge on another stream is shown as context.
