Description
Autumn is a wonderful time to visit the Prince William Forest Park in Northern Virginia. The colors are a treat for eyes as the trees transition from green to shades of gold and rust. Being out in nature can be a balm to the soul as you take in the beauty around you. It's a place where you can breathe in the crisp, clean air and listen to the music of the birds and crunching leaves underfoot.
Prince William Forest Park was established as Chopawamsic Recreational Demonstration Area in 1936. Its location is in Triangle, Virginia. The park is the largest protected natural area in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region at over 16,000 acres. Today, the park is a window into the past and serves as an example of what much of the East Coast once looked like centuries ago.
The park serves as the largest example of Eastern Piedmont forest in the National Park System (arguably, one of the most heavily altered ecosystems in North America). The park also protects the Quantico Creek watershed. It is a sanctuary for numerous native plant and animal species. -Wikipedia
