Hi all, Steve here from Northern Va. I love the outdoors and been getting excited to learn about overlanding, meeting new folks, and exploring. I currently have a Wrangler JK with a custom M416 trailer outfitted for adventure. Been thinking about a new Rubicon. I would love some advice on areas to explore as a noob in the NoVa area.

I’m even closer to Ricketts than my location suggests. It’s the most visited state park and the main reason for that is all the waterfalls but that’s certainly not the only reason to visit. The beach on Lake Jean is also a popular destination in the park. If you want to go swimming the lake will be the warmest water available. The water on the falls trails will be cold cold. I’d encourage you to to walk the entire falls trail and that includes checking out the gorge area along Rt 118. If you intend to camp in Ricketts I’d also encourage you to make reservations. I hope spots are still available over the holiday weekend.
If you want to see another waterfall (Sullivan Falls), a good swimming hole (Mill Dam), and a scenic drive to an old town nestled in a valley you could take Jamison City Road to.... you guessed it.. Jamison City. It’s surrounded by State Game Lands and you can swing by The Jamison City Hotel and ‘the penny bar’ for a bite to eat. The area is popular for the Air National Guard and their A-10’s to practice low level terrain flying.
If you’re interested in a day trip to see another State Park I’d recommend checking out Worlds End State Park.
Hope this helps. You can always feel free to message me with any questions.
Thank you, I've heard that getting a reservation in rickets can be difficult at best
