Harvest season turns Fauquier County into its own kind of destination: vineyards at their fullest, golf courses at their most scenic, trails at their most comfortable to walk. At Kettle Run Estates at Brookside, that season starts right outside the door, with the amenities and trails of Brookside close at hand.

Brookside’s Amenities, Harvest Edition

Residents don’t have to leave Brookside to find something to do this season. Two clubhouses and pools, a fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, and the community’s own network of walking trails make it easy to get outside without planning a trip. The Brookside Trail alone stretches approximately five miles through the neighborhood, winding past Lake Anne toward Lake Brittle.

The Trail System Beyond the Neighborhood

Beyond Brookside, the 2.2-mile Warrenton Branch Greenway connects downtown Warrenton with the Fauquier Educational Farm on a flat, ADA-accessible path, while the Stafford Farm Trail, Cedar Run Greenway, and Northern Fauquier Community Park Trail add even more options for a crisp fall walk or ride.

A Day at the Park, Fauquier Style

Fauquier County offers access to parks and green spaces in the charming countryside setting that draws people to Warrenton. Play pickleball at Academy Hill Park, grab a picnic at Eva Walker Park, or take the family for an afternoon of skating at Warrenton Sports Complex. Whatever flavor of recreation you prefer, Warrenton has the perfect recipe.

And at Kettle Run Estates, a harvest-season weekend can be as active or as easy as you want. With Brookside’s amenities close to home and Fauquier County’s trails, golf courses, and vineyards all nearby, getting outside is simply part of the routine — right up until it’s time to trade the trail for a warm fire.
