The Canal Path/Heritage Trail Fredericksburg

I have really enjoyed Walking along the Canal Path! Below is a link for the 3.1 Mile Trail which is in the process of being extended! There are People Walking, Running, Riding Bikes and Walking their Dogs! I have to remind myself not to stop and pet all the doggies so I can get my exercise!!  If you would like to stray off the path you can walk along some of the tree lined streets and view the Beautiful Homes in Downtown Fredericksburg ... this of course being a Realtor is my favorite thing to do!!      

Rappahannock Canal Walk

The Rappahannock Canal Walk follows the old towpath along the disused canal just northwest of downtown Fredericksburg. The path follows a winding course past old suburban back yards and through a wooded corridor with a rural feel. At the east end of the trail is the town's main street (US 1/17/Princess Anne Street), which take you into the historical downtown. The western end of the trail passes by the hospital, where you can link to the Mary Washington Hospital Trail.
