Nature Centers, Park

Approximately 15,000 acres, is the largest protected natural area in the D.C. metropolitan region. Located between Quantico Marine Corps Base and the Route 234 corridor, the park preserves a slice of eastern piedmont forest, one of the most heavily altered ecosystems in North America, and protects Quantico Creek, a direct tributary to the Potomac River.
