To know Virginia is to experience its unique history and mystical landscape. Often times, these two characteristics go hand in hand. One only needs to visit Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia to understand just how impressive the history of our land truly is. Walking through this gorgeous expanse of forest and rivers, you’ll be stepping where volcanos erupted and dinosaurs once roamed millions of years ago. You may not see this evidence with your eyes, but it’s nearly impossible to deny the allure of this ancient natural area.
Located in northern Virginia just outside of Woodbridge awaits a breathtaking natural area whose importance has stood the test of time.

The gentle rolling hills so characteristic of the Piedmont region of Virginia are actually the effect of millions of years of volcanos erupting and changing the landscape forever.

500 million years ago, volcanic eruptions transformed the face of the landscape. Lava reheated and eventually became metamorphic rock.

Visitors today can walk among the natural history of this region of Virginia when they opt for a scenic trek through the woods.

The South Valley Trail stretches for a lengthy 15 miles, winding past creeks and through the woods. Of course, you don’t have to complete the trail to appreciate its serene beauty!

The trail features a few stream crossings, such as this utterly picturesque wooden bridge.

In addition to hiking, the park also offers opportunities for fishing, camping, biking, and picnics. No matter your inspiration for visiting, you’ll feel awe-inspired by the history and beauty of this region.
