Hog Island Wildlife Management Area is a 3,908-acre (15.82 km2) Wildlife Management Area along the lower James River in Virginia. The peninsular tip was named "Hogg Island [sic]" in 1608 by Jamestown settlers who released three pigs in the area, who became feral and multiplied. In colonial times Law
nes Creek (which runs among the three separate tracts of land now managed by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries) became the dividing line between Surry County and Isle of Wight County. The Hog Island and Carlisle tracts are in Surry County, and the Stewart Tract in Isle of Wight County. However, the Surry Nuclear Power Plant blocks Hog Island road, so access to the Hog Island tract has been extremely limited since 9/11/01.
