We are finalizing the hunting information for the 2009-2010 season. This page will be updated as soon as the process is complete. Thank you!

Virginia State Parks Hunting Rules

• Hunting and camping is permitted only in designated areas.
• Virginia game laws apply in all designated hunting areas.
• Hunting is prohibited within 100 yards of all state park buildings and roads.
• Loaded firearms are prohibited except in designated hunting areas. (Those with a valid concealed weapons permit may carry loaded firearms.)
• Firearms may be carried through designated non-hunting areas of specific state parks to gain access to public hunting areas. Firearms should remain unloaded, cased and secured in a vehicle at all other times. (Those with a valid concealed weapons permit may carry loaded firearms.)
• Lottery and reservation hunts require proof of completion of a hunter safety course.
• State law requires hunters to wear blaze orange. The minimum required by law is a blaze orange cap or vest; most managed hunts at state parks require a blaze orange vest, at a minimum, which is more than required by state regulations.
