CAN I FLOAT MY BOAT IN LAKE RIDGE?

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executives

 

  

Yes, and there are many, many options

Lake Parks and Recreation Association has a boat ramp at the end of Foothill Drive for residents.  It provides direct access to the Occoquan Reservoir.  A key to the ramp can be obtained at the administration office on Oakwood Drive and there is a one key limit per household.
Boats pwered by more than a 10 hp engine ar prohibited on the reservoir and swimming and water skiing are strictly prohibited,

Lake Ridge Park and Marina  Entrance to the park is located at the southern end of Cotton Mill Drive.  You can launch your boat for either a daily or seasonal fee.  Furthermore, if you don't own a boat you can rent a canoe, paddle boat, jon boat with electric motor or jon boat with oars.  Additionally, bait, snacks and life jacket rentals are available.

Lake Ridge Area  There are numerous private marina facilities with launch capability as well as two public parks.  The Occoquan Regional Park on Route 123 just across the river in Fairfax County has boat launching facilities with direct access to the Potomac River and beyond. Leesylvania State Park on the Potomac River at the end of Neabsco Road in Woodbridge has both storage facilities as well and launching capability for power and sailboats.

I am a Lake Ridge resident and a full time real estate broker  with 31 years full time experience.  CONTACT ME for assistance with  Lake Ridge, Woodbridge or Prince William County real estate.

Virginia  Thank you for stopping by.  The board is actually the floating pier used by our local high school shells,  Karen

Chris,  Lake Ridge and Montclair are both unique in Prince William County - nothing like them in the west,  Karen

Karen, that looks like a great place to float a boat.  We backed up to a little lake when we lived in North Carolina and I loved it.
