NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — With Labor Day weekend coming up, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are reminding everyone to stay safe on the waters.

This warning comes as drowning deaths at Percy Priest Lake continue to drop.

"Always [the] first thoughts that go through your mind during any fatality is, 'Was there something that we could've done?'" Park Ranger Dustin Entrocaso with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers expressed.

This fiscal year, four people have died in the lake due to drowning compared to five last year and seven the year before.

"There's a lot of logs, trees in the water; those rocky areas, they can get you caught, especially in those holes in between rocks; and again, steep drop-offs," TWRA Game Warden Johnathan Mark described.
