Rules & Regulations

• All guests must have a valid Virginia fishing license unless under the age of 16
• Members can bring family and friends for day-use picnics and fishing
• Guests may use the pond area and picnic facilities but cannot access shooting ranges without proper authorization
• Members bear full responsibility for their guests at all times
• Follow all rules posted on the fishing kiosk at the upper pond
• Catch and release is encouraged for bass to maintain healthy fish populations

Conservation & Stewardship

A monofilament recycling bin is located on the dam and playground side of the large pond. Please dispose of used fishing line responsibly — discarded monofilament is a serious hazard to wildlife, particularly birds and turtles.

Sunset Times

Sunset times are displayed at the hunter's kiosk near the caretaker's residence. Fishing is permitted during daylight hours only.
