Steps on Little Run Loop

Little Run Loop Trail (0.6 miles; 1 km)

Little Run Loop Trail is a short, but moderate trail that starts behind Turkey Run Education Center and meets up with High Meadows Trail. The trail is blazed yellow and is perfect for a short hike with good views. The circle-like nature of this trail, and its many connections with other trails, can make it confusing.  Be sure to follow the posted signs and trail blazes on your hike.

American beaver  

Did You Know?
By the 1900s, Beavers were entirely extirpated from Virginia and were difficult to find across the entire lower 48 states due to over-consumption by humans. In 1950, Boy Scouts reintroduced 5 beavers into Prince William Forest Park. Today are more than 80 beavers in the 15,000 acre park.
