    Cross Mountain
    Aimee G.

    Very nice, scenic, and short hike up this mini hill. Restrooms were clean and plenty of parking available.

    So simple yet so symbolic. A small trail a few minutes outside Fredericksburg. The trail itself is not hard at all and it only takes a few minutes to get to the top where the cross is. Along the trail are also stairs. At the top is the cross as well as a beautiful view of the small city of Fredericksburg. There are some benches you can sit at to rest or reflect. The cross also lights up at night. Beautiful scenic view and great photo opp.

    Stopped by after a day of drinking wine for a very quick little hike up here. I was slightly worried about the steepness but I was easily able to do this in a dress and sandals (although admittedly was slightly out of breath afterwards). The trail looks like an old limestone road, but has stairs with cedar wood on the right that makes it easier if needed. Great views of the town at the top with The very large cross at the peak. Two benches available to take In The views at. There's a clean restroom with sink and soap for washing your hands, and a nature trail. Overall totally worth a quick detour for some great views.

    A short hike to the top. Worth the trek up! We were literally the only people there at 2:30 on a Saturday. It's free and very enjoyable.

    My kiddos and I did this hike on Easter. We had so much fun! There are benches and a table at the top if you want to have a picnic. It was not crowded and was very peaceful.

    Loved it....very serene Nice little hike to the top. It was not hard and it takes under ten minutes to get to top. It was not crowded and even the gate appears locked it's not look to the side it's a walking gate

    Super easy "hike". Pretty scenery. Not challenging but peaceful. I couldn't find the entrance at first, but if you're facing the restrooms the entrance is to the left.

    Close to town. Easy hike to the top where you get a great view of the city with shaded bench areas to sit and enjoy.

    It was a really nice treat to do this short hike on a really cold morning.

    Enchanted Rock is a lovely spot to visit, but it is popular and draws large crowds. Make sure to…read morecheck dates and make reservations! There's a nice long loop around the base of the rock top hike and there's the summit hike. The summit hike is the one that draws the crowds. On this occasion we opted to do the loop. The weather was pleasant, but got warm fast. There's not much shade, so prepare accordingly- sunscreen, hats, water. The trail is peaceful and quaint. We didn't see very many hikers or wildlife. The hike is relatively easy, until it isn't. At one point, I really thought we must have turned off the trail. We were down to single file, rocky terrain. I didn't remember this part of the trail so I'm memorializing my trauma now. Luckily, I was with a supportive and helpful partner who lead the way and helped me when I needed. Once we got passed that stretch of terror, we were home free! And then we had to traverse the parking lot clear to the other side. Come to find out, there's two ways to start the loop. Pro tip, park somewhere in the middle to trick yourself into feeling like the end doesn't last forever. Sign me up to go back on the winter!

    We didn't make any reservations so we had to go into the building and get our tickets. They gave us…read morea map and showed us where to go. We parked near the restrooms. We had our dog with us so we're only allowed to go on the loop trail (about 4.6 miles). There was a scenic lookout along the way. If you start left to right, the trail becomes narrower. Also, some cell signals are stronger along the loop trail. There are about 2-3 restrooms along the trail. We went at around 9:30. As we were leaving around 12:30, more cars were coming into the area.

Everything is super maintained than most parks I've been before! I usually go with my MIL, my baby girl and our dogs to get them some exercise as well and try to do 1-2 miles each time we are here. Depending on what trails you walk/hike on, theres some with shade and some that you will hit up the blazing sun, but with fall upon it hasn't been horrible! Everyone who hikes here are really respectful with the trails/area which is such a pleasant thing as there's usually not a lot of people who do that now a days. Will of course be returning weekly to get our steps in and vitamin D!

Loved they had a dog park and a playground you can take your kids to. There are places you can even go fishing if you want or just sit by the water to relax. Loved how there were plenty of signs around too talking about the animals and plants common there. Good information about the park too and didn't feel I would get lost either (good flat paths you can take). I barely saw any trash flying around either and could tell they keep this park well kept. I absolutely plan to come back here in the future when I have time. Definitely worth the visit!
