Yorktown, Virginia – The National Park Service (NPS) announced yesterday new regulations governing the launching and landing of private vessels at Colonial National Historical Park that will go into effect on January 14, 2022.
After reviewing public comments on a proposed rule that was published in March of this year, the NPS has finalized new regulations that allow the Superintendent to designate launch and retrieval sites for private vessels under NPS general regulations. The rule also removes outdated fee and permit requirements for commercial passenger-carrying motor vehicles.

About Colonial National Historical Park. Colonial National Historical Park was established in 1930 to preserve important 17th and 18th century sites that tell the story of English arrival in a Native homeland, colonization and suppression, and the struggle for American independence. Jamestown’s legacy includes representative government, but also slavery, a brutal institution that spread throughout the colonies. At Yorktown, Virginia colonists fought in the last major battle of the American Revolutionary War. The scenic 23-mile Colonial Parkway links the sites and is recognized as an “All-American road”.
