Leesylvania State Park

A beautiful park located on the Potomac River that offers historical sites and recreation facilities.

You'll pay 5.00 to get in which is fine with me because I really love the park. There is fishing, hiking, gentle walking paths, boat and jet ski launches and a pier. Nice green areas with tables and BBQ grills. The trees go right up to the waters edge. There is a general store, rangers if you need them. Camping, guided tours, wildlife recognition with the tour guides. The largest population of bald eagles in the mid Atlantic. It's a small park, which fill to capacity on holidays. Go off season or during the week. You will love it.

Rippon Lodge Historic Site

Visit one of the oldest homes in Prince William County. Built circa 1747 by Richard Blackburn, the historic house is situated between Neabsco Creek, the Potomac River, and the historic King's Highway (present day Route 1). The original owners, Richard and his son Thomas, had extensive land holdings in the county where they grew tobacco, wheat, and other commodities. By 1842, the Atkinson Family called Rippon Lodge home for about 90 years before the property was sold to Wade Ellis in 1924. Mr. Ellis, and his wife Dessie, purchased 500 acres, renovated the home, turning it into a Colonial Revival residence, and are regarded as being responsible for preserving much of the history. Admiral Richard Blackburn Black, the last private owner, purchased the home in 1952, and continued to preserve the home and history as Mr. Ellis had. Admiral Black is linked to many important historical events, including exploration of Antarctica with Admiral Richard Byrd and Pearl Harbor.

Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge

Reviewed By BirdingGirlofVA - Virginia, United States

The Refuge has been a great place to visit during COVID-19. Walking on the trails, listening to the birds, and feeling the wind, one doesn't have to worry about bringing hand sanitizer, face shields or "social distancing." If you come within 6 feet of a person, it's because you brought them with you. It's a perfect place to feel close to nature, and temporarily remove oneself from the stress of what our world has become due to the pandemic. Another plus, visiting the Refuge is free.
