The 4,232 acre Short Hills WMA continues to remain open for public access. Despite limited public access at this time, users are invited to Short Hills WMA for the upcoming fall hunting seasons. Additionally, the WMA is open for all other wildlife-related recreational activities normally offered on Virginia’s WMAs. Please be sure to review WMA Rules.
Short Hills is made up of approximately 3,482 acres of mixed pine/hardwood, and 750 acres of open land that has been farmed in the past. The property is also noted for a high percentage of karst topography (rocky outcroppings) which contributes substantially to water quality and cave habitat.
Short Hills has been a popular hunting area for many years, producing better than average populations of white-tailed deer, black bear, Eastern wild turkey, grey and fox squirrels, red and grey fox and raccoon.
