Greenway Lake near Madison: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Greenway Lake in Morgan County, Georgia. The water sits 679 feet up. It covers about 5 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Morgan County list holds plenty of bigger water. The nearest town is Madison, 7.1 miles away. Beyond it, Social Circle at 10 miles and Covington at 16 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Greenway Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, largemouth bass and black crappie. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Greenway Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 80°F, while January sits near 43°F. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Greenway Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Lewis Lake, 3.3 miles out. Check the position on Greenway Lake before loading the car.
