It's free fishing day in Virginia, which means you don't need a fishing license! Try your hand at fishing, all supplies provided! We will have rangers and supplies available from noon to 3pm, with last equipment loan at 2:30pm. It's a great way to see if fishing is something for you!
We strive to make our programming and special event opportunities accessible and inclusive to all. If you have any concerns, please reach out to our front office to speak with a ranger or contact us through the park email address. We will attempt to accommodate all individuals or families for their unique circumstances and can do so best with advanced communication.
