Motts Run Reservoir is at  6600 River Road.

This 860-acre natural area including the 160-acre reservoir, is a haven for
fishing, boating canoeing, hiking and picnicking. It also serves the
residents of Fredericksburg and parts of Spotsylvania County with drinking
water. You may bring your own boat (ELECTRIC MOTORS ONLY) to launch on the
lake, or fish from the banks. Fee charged for fishing and boat launching. No
swimming, horseback riding, biking of any kind, or all-terrain vehicles
permitted. The park has jon boats and canoes available for rental, picnic
grills and tables, and over 4 miles of hiking trails. 

Motts Reservoir is OPEN Thursdays - Mondays April 1 - October 31 from 7:00am
- 7:00pm; the Reservoir is CLOSED on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If the weather
is questionable, call before coming (540) 786-8989. As a cost saving
measure, when the weather is bad we reserve the right to close the reservoir
early.

 

 

 

 

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
