Game Farm Marsh Wildlife Management Area

Game Farm Marsh Wildlife Management Area is a protected area located in New Kent County, Virginia. On the northern shore of Chickahominy Lake, it is situated next door to the Virginia Department of Forestry tree farm. The whole of the 429 acres of the area are wetland, and can only be accessed by boat; two creeks allow access into the interior. Much of the property is shallow, and is clogged with submerged vegetation covered by duck weed in the warmer months.
