Lake Shelbyville’s tree stand policy for this year will remain the same as last season’s policy.

The policy allows hunters to leave one stand up for the season, referred to as a seasonal tree stand, and/or use up to two roving stands that may be left up during archery season for no more than 72 hours without use, or the length of a three-day weekend. Seasonal tree stands may be placed two weeks before archery season and must be removed within two weeks after archery season ends. Archery season runs from Oct. 1, 2026, through Jan. 17, 2027.
