Providing for active recreational uses of the park such as the launching and landing of vessels, to include canoes, kayaks and jet skis, has been determined not to be a compatible recreational use of the park, and is prohibited. There are more than a dozen public boat launching sites maintained by state and local recreational facilities in the vicinity of Colonial National Historical Park which provide access to both the James and York Rivers. Fishing is permitted in the James and York Rivers along the Colonial Parkway, subject to licensing requirements in Virginia.
