Planning a hunt in Virginia
Virginia DWR’s Where to Hunt resources help connect a trip with an individual property or opportunity. Follow through to the named destination’s current map and hunt information rather than treating every public-land category alike.
For a WMA or another managed area, check the applicable entry and hunting information for your intended activity. If you choose national forest land, also consult that forest’s current orders and motor-vehicle map. Record the actual manager, parking location and confirmed approach in your notes so the access research can be checked again before departure.
Check the property and the route
Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.
Use with Free Hunting Map
Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.
View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
