IntroPrince William Forest Park was established by an Act of Congress in August 1933 as the Chopawamsic Recreational Demonstration area.In 1933, the over-farmed and exhausted land was chosen as one of 46 recreation demonstration projects in 25 states, and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began construction of five cabin camps, numerous roads and lakes, miles of trails, and utility systems. The park, a unit of the National Park Service, preserves a piedmont forest covering a major portion of the Quantico Creek watershed. The park's relatively large size and the fact that it contains one of the few remaining piedmont forest ecosystems in the National Park System make it a significant natural resource.
