Hiking Through America's History on the Crossing Trail
Did you know that part of the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail passes through Prince William Forest Park? Take a hike through history at Prince William Forest Park on the Crossing Trail, which follows part of the route where, in 1781, General Rochambeau's French Army and General Washington's Continental Army marched troops south from New York to fight the British Army in Yorktown, VA during the Revolutionary War. Celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence by following in the footsteps of these armies as you learn about travel in the 1700s along this one and a half mile trail. Bring water and bug spray on this mostly shaded one and a half hour hike.
