About Paradise PFA

Paradise PFA near Enigma is a 1,351-acre public fishing area with 68 lakes totaling about 525 acres, offering extensive bank and boat fishing in South Georgia.

Paradise PFA is one of Georgia's largest public fishing areas, covering 1,351 acres near Enigma with 68 lakes totaling about 525 acres. Anglers can fish from shore, docks, or boats for largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish, crappie, and brown bullhead. Facilities include boat ramps, fishing docks, picnic areas, nature trails, restrooms, primitive camping, seven tent-only campsites, and a group campsite. The many lakes give visitors a very different experience from fishing a single large reservoir and make Paradise especially useful for family trips, bank fishing, and anglers who want several waters to explore in one destination. Check current PFA regulations and posted lake-specific rules before fishing.
