Important Notices
| Numerous DWR Facilities Closed Due to Storm DamageDue to recent flood events, water levels and flow rates are extremely high in rivers throughout Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) Regions 2, 3, & 4. DWR boating access sites in those regions may not be accessible at this time. Staff is currently working to evaluate sites and restore access as conditions allow. Concerns include slippery ramp and dock surfaces; significantly higher than normal water levels; and trees, trash and other debris that could be floating on the surface or just below the waterline. In addition, due to damage from Hurricane Helene, DWR has closed several wildlife management areas located in the western part of the Commonwealth. Due to continuing damage evaluations, DWR doesn’t have an estimated re-opening date for these facilities. DWR encourages everyone to avoid any body of water in the western region of the state and to refrain from visiting any wildlife management area in the western region of the state until a full facility assessment can be completed. Please see this page for a full list of affected properties and status updates » |
