It follows along the beautiful Rappahannock River and has many spots ot stop to enjoy the river. If you’ve ever driven South on I-95 and seen the large FredNats billboard on the side of the rock face – then you’ve seen the Quarry Trail. You can hike to the top of that hill and see the billboard face-to-face!

The Quarry Trail System is a go-to for locals and should be on your list if you are looking for great trails to hike or bike. The Fredericksburg Trail Alliance has worked hard to provide well maintained and visible trail markings.  

Parking is limited and sometimes you have to get creative! You can use the small lot on the corner of Normandy Ave and Fall Hill Ave (directly across the street from Friends of the Rappahannock) or you can park along Fall Hill Ave or Riverside Dr and walk to the trailhead. There are no facilities on or near the trail so make sure you practice good leave no trace principles.

Whether you live in Fredericksburg or you are just visiting and looking for a great trail system the Quarry is the place to be.
