Recreation

1. Boating: Welcome to the Fort Eustis Boating program. This Installation provides several opportunities to launch small watercraft for the purpose of recreation, wildlife viewing, hunting, and fishing. Small watercraft launch sites are located on the James and Warwick Rivers, with boat ramps located on the Warwick River and at Eustis Lake. Every person entering any area of Fort Eustis as a participant of the boating program must register in iSportsman, acquire permits, and checkin/out.  Instructions can be found in the General Information Tab. You must answer or accept all prompted questions through the checkin and checkout process. Those planning to boat at Fort Eustis should monitor the isportsman portal and the upcoming events tab to remain aware of any changes to the boating program, provision of opportunities, and launch closures.

Boating Safety: All Participants to JBLE-E Boating Program should be familiar with boating safety protocols and regulations set forth by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources and the U.S. Coast Guard.
