EXPLORING LAKE RIDGE

A Woodbridge, Virginia Community

Woodbridge is the perfect suburban escape from the bustling city of Washington D.C. Beautifully bounded by the Potomac and the Occoquan River, you have lots of fresh water to gaze at when out and about in the parks or exercising on one of the many hiking trails.

Lake Ridge is the perfect area for anyone who enjoys the water, but doesn’t want the cost or hassle of living directly on it. Less than 2 miles away is the Occoquan Reservoir that offers the ability to fish, swim, paddleboat, and even use kayaks and canoes. For those looking for motor boating and access to larger waters, the Belmont Bay Harbor Marina is 5 miles away and gives you direct access to the Occoquan Bay and then the Potomac River. And if you want an escape to nature, but don’t want to be on the water, the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge is the perfect place to to see a beautiful part of protected wildlife, that includes a protected bird reufe and breeding area.
