Hardware River Wildlife Management Area

WMA · Fluvanna, Albemarle · Piedmont Virginia

Hardware River WMA sits in the rolling Piedmont foothills between Charlottesville and the James River. The area provides quality deer and turkey hunting in a mix of mature hardwoods, pine stands, and old fields reverting to forest. Several food plots managed by DGIF attract and hold game throughout the season. Its proximity to Charlottesville makes it popular, so hunting pressure is moderate to high on weekends.
