Welcome to our trail of geocaches placed here in Rippon Lodge!! Our Girl Scout troop based out of Woodbridge, VA worked diligently with Rippon Lodge to come up with environmentally educational caches that also teach the community about protecting our earth. Our 5 caches throughout Rippon Lodge have specific themes that the girls researched themselves to come up with ways to inform the community about positive ways to help the environment. If you complete all 5 caches, the total hiking distance will be approximately 1 to 1 1/2 miles in length.
"Save The Water" is a cache about how to reduce our usage of water!
Read through the information the girls researched and maybe try a tip or two at home!!
Rippon Lodge is one of the oldest known homes in Prince William County. It provides a vital link and opportunity to interpret our community's link to Colonial Virginia. The home has links to other important people, events and times in Prince William History. Stop by and step back in time to experience a home and setting that has been around since 1747. Office hours for Rippon Lodge May - October are as follows: Thursday-Monday 11:00a-4:00pm.
Please note: Rippon Lodge is open to the public May-October with the above hours but November through April the house is closed. The trails are open year-round dawn until dusk but if gates to parking coords are locked, there is parking available at the Rippon Landing Park across Blackburn Road.
