32. Exploring the Wild at Wildlife Management Areas with Lisa Ghidotti

Virginia Outdoor Adventures: Hiking, Camping, Kayaking, Local Travel and more!

“I want to visit all the Wildlife Management Areas, but honestly, it's about the journey, not the destination. I've traveled to all corners of the Commonwealth, I've met some good people with great stories, I've learned a lot of things, and I've seen some beautiful land. I want to share my adventures at the WMAs and ,hopefully, encourage and inspire others to go explore the wild as well.” -Lisa Ghidotti, Wildlife Management Area Explorer

Virginia is blessed with an abundance of public lands that are open for everyone to enjoy. Wildlife Management Areas, known as WMAs, encompass 225,000 acres of diverse habitat across the Commonwealth and provide excellent hiking, wildlife viewing, paddling, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, and primitive camping opportunities. Lisa Ghidotti, an experienced hiker, kayaker, and angler, has been exploring the wild by challenging herself to visit every WMA in Virginia. Lisa shares the highlights of her journey, what she has discovered along the way, and her tips for planning your own adventure so you, too, can explore the wild. Let’s Go!
