There are many small businesses where the owner wants the convenience of a self storage facility close to their home even though they may not work from home. If so, Lake Ridge has two very large self storage facilities in the subdivision.
Our son, for example, owns his own business and rents the equivalent of a one car garage to store his equipment. One of his neighbors is a pest control firm that has a similar need.

lake ridge about: A "Hidden" Lake Ridge Woodbridge VA Treasure - 09/15/09 11:12 AM



It's hidden at the end of Forest Hill Road to be precise. Only Lake Ridge residents can obtain a key to use the park and boat ramp at the end of the road.
It is a very peaceful site disturbed only by the occasional osprey that swoops down to fish or the fish that breaks the tranquil surface.
There is ample space for anglers to park their trailers after launching their boats.
It is also a favorite spot for kayakers to "do their thing" in a protected cove, but with access to the main body of … (0 comments)

lake ridge about: For Bass Fishing it's Lake Ridge and the Occoquan Reservoir - 05/16/09 09:01 AM


The size of your boat or ship is not relevant. It is the law in Virginia that a boat cannot have an engine that exceeds 9.9 HP in a public water reservoir.The hull speed generated by 9.9 HP engine does no harm to the ecosystem of the reservoir.
The Occoquan Reservoir is a 2,100 acre reservoir that supplies both Fairfax County and Prince William County with its' water. Hopefully, the Kitty Hawk, pictured on the left, requires more than a 9.9 HP nuclear power plant.
Can I catch fish in the reservoir? You bet you can. The Occoquan Reservoir … (0 comments)
