Deer hunting on False Cape State Park is allowed during the early fall by special permit. Hunters are selected by a random drawing. Application for these permits may be made to the Department's Williamsburg office after August 15 th each year. Fishing Over the years, changes in salinity and the decline in aquatic vegetation, has altered the fishery in Back Bay proper. Currently, white perch is the primary sport fish in the bay.
Anglers continue to take large-mouth bass and bluegill from the creeks feeding the bay.
These creeks also offer excellent fishing for channel catfish during the spring spawning period. There's a boat ramp and parking at the headquarters. Parking for hunting access to the State Park, including Barbours Hill, is at the Little Island Recreation Area, near the entrance to Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Transport to the hunting area is provided. Other Activities False Cape State Park offers hiking, biking, primitive camping and an interpretative center.
