My wife and I are planning a camping trip to Sherando Lake in two weeks and again in late October.
I'm hoping someone can help me out with some clarifications about carrying at Sherando. I tried my Google-Fu and this is where I am on knowledge and questions.
Here is what I know (or think I know):
Sherando Lake campground is under the authority/operation of USDA National Forest Service
Carry laws for National Forests in VA are: OC permitted only during general firearms hunting season, CC is ok with CHP at all times on NF lands
Observation:
On my last visit to Sherando Lake, there was a rules/regulations sign posted near the self-service check-in station and just outside the public showers/restrooms that included the gunbuster image and, if memory serves, text stating firearms are prohibited. (I took a picture of the sign but I seem to have lost the image file)
My questions are (keeping in mind the gunbuster sign that is posted in at least two locations):
Would OC be legal at the campground during hunting season?
Would CC be legal at the campground during hunting season and/or outside hunting season?
Would carry be permitted in the camp store or restrooms? (Federal building)
What other laws regulations would I need to be concerned about in the campground ( carrying while boating in a canoe on Sherando Lake)?
Any guidance is appreciated.
