Reservations are now open for the 2025-2026 hunting season for groups of 12 or more!

Reservations will open on August 1st for all other hunters.

We have two options for you to choose from: an overnight experience or a drive-in on the morning of the hunt. Both include a 4-bird limit, one box of steel shells, coffee and pastries pre-hunt, and a full hot country breakfast following the hunt. Our Overnight experience includes appetizers, a steak dinner, and access to our game room and outdoor fireplace for an evening to remember.

We hunt on Wednesday and Saturday mornings from November to Early March. We can accommodate overnight groups of up to 25.

We look forward to seeing you all this fall, and thank you for choosing Wiley Creek at Lewallen Farms.

Recent Events at the Farm

REEL CONNECTION

A foster and fishing event in partnership with Woodstock City Church.

In July, we hosted 20 foster families at Lewallen Farms for fishing, connection, and games. We partnered with Woodstock City Church Fostering Together Program, Dugout Bait & Tackle, and Giggle Monsters Donuts to provide each foster child with a fishing pole of their own to take home.

Thank you to all our volunteers, we had a great morning despite the rain, and look forward hosting this event again in the future. Everyone caught at least one fish!

MEET ROSIE

We’re thrilled to introduce the newest surprise member of the farm – Rosie, our miniature horse filly!

Born in early June to her mom, Nancy. When we brought Nancy home, we had no idea she was expecting – but what a sweet surprise she turned out to be!

Rosie is healthy, happy, and already stealing hearts. She and Nancy are settling in beautifully and are currently living their best lives alongside our playful goats.

Be sure to stop by and say hi to Rosie on your next visit – she’s in the area on the left of the farm when you first pull in.

BIRTHDAY PARTY

What a fun occasion it was as we celebrated our favorite duck hunting guide, Linda, on her 80th birthday in our reception pavilion.

Most of our duck hunters have been lucky enough to have Linda as a guide during your time here at the Wiley Creek.

We invite you to envision your own memorable moments at the preserve, where nature and friendship come together to create lasting adventures!

Lewallen Farms is a family-owned farm owned by Larry & Peggy Lewallen. They purchased the first 10-acre tract of the farm in 1990. Today, the farm has 380 acres of beautiful mountain views and is home to horses, donkeys, cattle, and more. Wiley Creek, North Georgia's premier duck hunting, is located within Lewallen Farms.

Lewallen Farms has an event venue that can accommodate up to 200 guests and specializes in weddings. It is also perfectly set up to host up to 25 overnight guests for corporate retreats. There are fire pits galore and 2 game rooms for guest use.
