Rappahannock New* SUIT Writer
Near its headwaters at Chester Gap, the Rappahannock River is perhaps two feet wide and less than one foot deep. It’s more a creek than a river, overhung with trees and vines, gurgling over rocks smoothed by countless years and countless gallons of water.
It bears no resemblance to the mighty river which flows past Fredericksburg and points east on the way to its confluence with the Chesapeake Bay.
When the General Assembly designated the Rappahannock as a state scenic river, there were probably few legislators who had in mind its source at the foot of Chester Gap. Indeed, the most noteworthy thing about the river at that point is that it serves as the boundary between Fauquier and Rappahannock counties.
