The new Facility Use Permit will be necessary to access VDGIF properties for
anyone who does not have a Freshwater Fishing, Hunting, Trapping license or a
boat registration card. It would apply to birdwatchers, hikers, horseback
riders, cyclists, wildlife watchers/photographers, canoers, kayakers, etc. who
don’t have a license or boat registration. See the information below
Facility Use Permit
Effective January 1, 2012, a Facility Use
Permit will be required when using any
Department-owned Wildlife Management
Area or Fishing Lake. Such permit
shall not be required for any person
holding a valid hunting, fishing or
trapping license or a current certificate
of boat registration issued by the
Department or persons 16 years of age
or younger. The Facility Use Permit
requirement does not apply to Department-
owned boat ramps or segments
of the Appalachian Trail on Department-
owned land. The Facility Use Permit
fee is $4 for a daily permit or $23
for an annual permit. The Facility Use
Permit may be purchased online or at
any license agent.

I was at Amelia WMA recently and saw a notice that a permit will be required
for those of us who don't have hunting, fishing or boating licenses, starting
next year. How much will this cost? I tried to check your web site and
couldn't find anything about it.
