Welcome from the Izaak Walton League of Lynchburg and Walton Park. Founded in 1922 the Izaak Walton League of America (www.iwla.org) is a non-profit national conservation organization with a mission "To conserve, maintain, protect, and restore the soil, forest, water, and other natural 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 1947, one of the ways the Lynchburg Virginia chapter has strived 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.

Membership in our local chapter includes membership in the national organization as well as access to all that Walton Park has to offer. Our annual fee is very reasonable and provides a quality outdoor experience for the entire family.
