Just gorgeous place! Late fall is the best time to visit to enjoy the beautiful colors around you. Spring and summer are best in that order.

This is a nice stop along the River path. Its good to get a reminder of our history here in Fredericksburg; specifically how white people took this land from native people such as the Manahoac and the Powhatan. Its a interesting little piece of the rivers history.

The Indian Punch Bowl itself was very underwhelming - almost not worth the extra 30 steps to get there from the main path. The area around it is fine and leads to the water. Leads right to Ficklen island which is where most people probably end up. Cool little island with waterways throughout.

It is a pretty scenic site and a calm place to watch the river and walk around. one hidden beauty.

A great stop on a beautiful trail right on the river. Going through the brush allows you to relax and chill at the river side in a nice location. :)

Been coming here forever. Its an amazing place.

I have been going here since I was a kid. Now I bring my family here great little walking area. And a little further up the road best swimming area. As teenagers we would call the areas sliding Rick and tunnel rock!

Beautiful park with outstanding views of the river

Beautiful ..watching and listening the water flow by...great place to walk

This is one of the most beautiful places to have a walk in the area of Northern Virginia.

We think it was made by nature and carved by the river. Not very tasty!

A beautiful area to walk along the Rappahannock River.

The Indian Punch Bowl is... An oddity. Its a circular hollow in a rock. There is no real explanation of what it was for, who made it, how they made it, or why. Even the sign says What do you think it was for?... as if they are hoping YOU might know.It is absolutely NOT worth visiting on its own. But... Its on the Rappahannock Heritage Trail, west of the Old Mill Park. Its worth p stopping for a look, if you happen to be in the area anyway. The river is just north of it, and its a beautiful place to walk, run, or bike.

Ideal place for families to have fun and slide in water

Just like always l...outstanding. The place looks new. Ice cold drafts. Delicious food. Great service. Vibrant but comfortable atmosphere. Still one of my favorite restaurants.

You can stand on the banks of the Rappahannock River and imagine youre looking at the same river in the same place as George Washington. Adventuring on the rocks below here is a blast. Visit the river. Its worth it.

This place is really breathtaking in the fall. The path is great for walking, and any other cardio exercise a person wishes to do. Also, the grass cut always and kept at a decent height. Unfortunately, my only complaint is ppl not cleaning up after their dog. Nice place to have a picnic, but you must be careful where you walk. Besides that, I find the path nice... oh yeah, sometimes, you will notice dog dropping on the path as well.

Beautiful place to go. Thought its not far from a road, its still very tranquil. My daughters (5 & 3) had fun in the creek and my husband and I got great photography shots for our business there.

This thing is very cool. I wonder what it was used for.... its right by the river in Downtown Fredericksburg. It overlooks some water, I think it could have been a bird bath. There isnt much to look at, just a big piece of stone from like way back that has a semi circle carved into the base. Human sacrifice? Sweet berry juice container? Bird Bath? Its anyones guess, and thats what makes this spot so alluring. Nice spot on the river and worth a check out if youre on the walk/bike trail that overlooks it.

We went there when the river was swollen. What an awesome site.

My favorite spot at the river

My walk is always great there, but the Indian Punch Bowl is in desperate need of rain! The waters have receded so, you can see all the rocks

Very interesting bit of history, accessibility is a challenge

Quiet and scenic view of the Rappahannock River

Nice and calm area. Nice to sit by water.

I have no comment

Interesting place but in if itself not a lot to see. The trail its on is fantastic.

Great walking/biking trail along a scenic river. A favorite of locals and tourists.

I love the Rapahanock River. Its beautiful and peaceful. Lots of walking paths and history.

Love coming out here. So peaceful

Small historic site. Doesnt have many signs or information about the site. TThe star of the show is the raging river

Surely gives you something to ponder. I believe they ground grain up in there to make flour. What do you think?

Nice during the day but I would not suggest being there after dark. Found needles and other drug paraphernalia on the rocks.

The punch bowl itself is a rather lackluster monument. There really isnt much information on the plaque and the bowl is literally just a bowl shaped indentation in a rock. The surrounding area is beautiful though. There are some great views of the river nearby.

I liked walking the rocks along the rushing river. Its a very good place.

Beautiful place to visit

One of my favorite spots to walk my dog

Cool little stop between the paved trail and river.

Beautiful views and great trail for biking, running, or dog walking!

I loved the scenery its beautiful.

Stopped here for some fly fishing. Beautiful scenery and nice water.

My favorite place

Total relaxation

Lovely place to relax

Great place for a picnic in the grass. Also great for playing Pokemon Go. The locals call it Karp City.

Beautiful place to go and relax

The placard offers no explanation for its existence.

Nice place to be on a hot day

Cool!

Happy place on the river.

Every time I visit I feel relax

Great for walking.

Very nice and a pretty sure for the location, great walking spot

The punch was very tasty

Always love the River Trail! Been visiting the Indian punch bowl since I was knee high!

Its a nice rock. About 4 inches deep.

Awesome little attraction. Very mysterious

Beautiful places

Nice little park with great views of the river

Awesome scenery

No Indians or punch bowls. History of the area.

The place needs a good mowing.

Nice place to sit and enjoy the river.

Always a fun place to go

Yum

An anomaly and an anachronism and a local landmark if nothing else for centuries. Where else can you say you went to an Indian punch bowl?

Mini rapids on the river
