the enjoyable stuff at Wrights Pond. Lakes are brilliant; Jennings Pond is a lake that's near Wrights Pond, and after a long day outdoors Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites THORNBURG-S. FREDERICKSBURG is a pleasant site to spend a
night or two. The Jackson Trail is a great hiking trail right next door to Wrights Pond, and in case you don’t mind getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Rappahannock River.
Piltzer Creek is a perfect local stream, and if you need a location to stay Residence Inn Fredericksburg is a great choice.

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.... |
