Motorboating

Virginia State Parks allow motorboats at 14 parks. You can take your motorboat out into the Blue Ridge, Chesapeake Bay, Eastern Shore, Hampton Roads area, Northern Virginia waters, and Virginia’s rivers and lakes.

For avid boaters, consider a Boat Launch Annual Pass so you can get out on the water as much as you want!

Questions about boat registration, licensing, safety and more? The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources has information for you.
