On the Water - Kayaking, Canoeing, and Fishing

Loudoun County provides a variety of opportunities to canoe, kayak, or fish. Recently opened parks along Goose Creek and the Potomac River provide more public access to the water, making it possible to fish or paddle long stretches of these waterways.


A Note on Licenses

Please remember that fishing licenses are required for people aged 16 or over, with licenses available online at the Va. Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries website (www.dgif.virginia.gov).
