Welcome to the Izaak Walton League of Lynchburg! We are part of the Izaak Walton League of America, a non-profit national conservation organization with a mission, "To conserve, maintain, protect and restore the soil, forest, water, and other national resources of the United States and other lands, to promote means and opportunities for the education of the public with respect to such resources and their enjoyment and wholesome utilization."

Established in January 1941, one of the ways the Lynchburg, Virginia Chapter has striven to fulfill the IWLA mission is through the development and maintenance of our Walton Park recreational facility. Located in Amherst County just north of Madison Heights, Walton Park covers 325 acres and includes a campground, swimming and fishing lakes, picnic areas, playgrounds, and shotgun, rifle, pistol, and archery ranges.

5/25 Covid 19 update.

We are reopening the Park gradually and in parallel with guidelines from the Commonwealth of Virginia. At this point in time all ranges are open, the campground is open including the bathhouse serving the RV area, and the lakes are open to fishing. No club house is open, nor the kiddie pool and lake for swimming. The bathhouse near the beach area remains closed. Social gathering guidelines remain necessary throughout the Park.
