5. Explore A crushed rock
Abuja is home to a lot of crushed rocks, some with water and others without. One Crushed Rock that I definitely recommend is Ushafa Crushed Rock Located in Bwari Area Council. The water is blue and environment serene and secure. When I visited it wasn’t on Google maps but Abujacitytourist visited recently and mentioned that the Google maps address is accurate. If you do get lost, hail a bike to Adefemi Street, take a turn by a Redeemed Church sign post. You can also ask for Quarry river or for an abandoned quarry site.
