FINEST PARK IN THE WORLD
What John Burroughs and Others Say of
the Rock Creek Reservation.

In his entertaining book Wake
Robin, and in the chapter entitled
Spring at the Capital" tpages l65-l66),
John Burroughs says: Outside Of the
city limits the great point of interest
to the rambler and lover of nature is
the Rock creek region. Rock creek is "a
large, rough, rapid stream which has
its source in the interior Of Maryland
and flows into the Potomac between
Washington and Georgetown. Its course
Tor five or six miles out of Washington
IS marked by great diversity Of scenery
Flowing in deep valley, which now
and then becomes a wild gorge with
overhanging rocks and high, PERCEPTIONS
headlands, for the most part wooded
here reposing in long, dark reaches.
there sweeping and hurrying around q
certain bend or over "a rocky bed re-
celvlng at short intervals small runs
and spring rivulets, which open up Wis
tas and outlooks TO the right and left
OF the most charming dcscription-Rock
creek has an abundance of all the ele-
meDts that make up not only pleasing
but wild and rugged scenery There is
perhaps not another city in the Union
that has OH its very threshold so much
natural beauty apd grandeur. such as
men seek for in remote forests and
mountains. A few touches of art would
convert this whole region, extending
from Georgetown to what is known as
Crystal springs, not more than two
miles from the present state depart
ment, into park unequaled by any
thing i'll the world. There are passages
between these two points as wild and
savage and apparently as remote from
civilization as anything one meets with
III the mountain sources of the Hudson
or the Delaware. Life and Light. I"
