Marsh Cam

The Marsh Cam is a livestreaming camera located on the southern end of Hog Island Wildlife Management Area (WMA), centered between a tidal marsh and two managed impoundments. It remains in operation 24/7, every day of the year, which means that night or day no matter the season, there is always something to see!

Learn More About Hog Island WMA

Named by 17th century English settlers who used the land primarily as a foraging ground for swine, Hog Island WMA not only has important ties to the founding of our nation, but its marshes and managed wetland impoundments have made this property a true mecca for fish and wildlife alike.

The Outdoors Are Better Together

Marsh Cam is made possible by generous support from our partners at the Hampton Roads Sanitation District.
