If you are traveling by, why not stop by Wrights Pond. This lake is so wonderful. Good hiking is available along the Jackson Trail; Ashbys Pond is a nearby lake that you could stop at. Piltzer Creek is one of the streams close by that might be worth stopping at, and a perfect place for whitewater paddling is Rappahannock River. If you came to camp Rappahannock River Campground is a tremendous spot to do that, and do have a look at Jennings Pond, it's a gorgeous

Pond. A tremendous nearby hotel is Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites THORNBURG - S. FREDERICKSBURG. There's so much to do here at Wrights Pond that you need to camp here for a while, Wilderness Presidential Resort is a wonderful
location for that.
After a long day outdoors Residence Inn Fredericksburg is a good place to spend a night or two. From a rain point of view Wrights Pond is a relatively normal site; through the month of May you get the most rain around here; February on the other hand is the driest.

Whitlock Millpond
| 17 miles away
Whitlock Millpond (very old maps show it as Hancock's Mill Pond) used to be a beautiful place. It was hard to get to and, as a result, I only visited once when I went fishing there as a child with my father and my grandfather (early- to mid-1960s). It was a wild, snaky place. My grandfather, who lived nearby, told me the dam which fed the abandoned mill had been built by slaves using stone quarried nearby.
Sadly, the dam was breached and the remains of the mill were swept away by the flooding that accompanied Hurricane Camille in 1968. Since then, what was the pond has filled with trees and only a small creek remains. In 2006 I tried to get over to where the remains of the dam are, but the owner of the land I had to cross just looked at me like I had lost my mind. I guess it is wilder and snakier than ever now.... |
