The quarry, which was opened in 1977, was the source of most stones used to transform Abuja from a small village in the 1980s into the country\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Crushed_Rock,_Mpape\">Mpape Crushed Rock<\/a> is often called a \u201cman-made quarry with special own appeal\u201d. This is because it was only a shallow quarry until workers struck an aquifer, causing water from beneath to flood the quarry and its machinery, forming a beautiful lake.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Mpape Crushed Rock has become an attractive visitation site for Abuja residents, tourist and visitors because of its scenic features.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/kwa-falls\/\">Kwa Falls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">To access the quarry, tourists and visitors go by a small winding footpath to the top terrace, where the grass is an ideal picnic location. There is a lake-like water body formed as a result of the quarry activities over the years. However, visitors are advised not to plunge into the water as it could contain quarry machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The rocky cliffs climbing into a blue sky and a moss-lined footpath has three main tiers that each give a stunning view of the water below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Small green hills and a lake that shimmers in the sun are a quite breath-taking and absolutely great destination for hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">There are food vendors, a DJ stand and a band of classical musicians at the service of the hundreds of sun-bathing tourists.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The location can be used for a weekend getaway, picnics and so many more.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mpape Crushed Rock Mpape Crushed Rock is a quarry situated in Mpape, Abuja, the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":12612,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[119,124],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","category-tourism"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12611"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12611\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12613,"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12611\/revisions\/12613"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
