Prince William Forest Park is a four-season destination. There is striking fall foliage in autumn, quiet hiking opportunities in the winter, and a great area to experience spring and summer recreation. Despite slight increases in visitation during the spring and fall months and on the weekends, getting away from the crowds is never a problem.

The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset.
