came from the District and 50
states and from three foreign
countries.
This year Davenport expects
the figures easily will top 200,-
900 and he is certain there will
be l million using the park an
nually within S years.
Fortunately, he has the
space to handle them and
still accomplish his objective
Of keeping the largest portion

The idea proved to be sound

groups realized that their stub

temporarily, taken all pleasure
out of the sport.
What started out as a means
to create peace became regular
practice. Power boatmen and
sailors recognized that differ

handle propulsion with which
they weren't familiar. They rec
ognized, too, the unfamiliar
form offered pleasure on the
water though of a quite diff
ferent type and the swapping
arrangement became a tradi-

The parks planning put
Oak Ridge more than 6 miles
from the main gate and a
good distance from the two
picnic sites.
"Picnickers and camper
are different types Of people
and they just don't mix, "
Davenport explains. Its best
to have the campers back in
the woods they love where
they won't be bothered by the
picnickers."
Turkey Run Ridge
In addition to this camp
site there is the Turkey Run
Ridge campground "a miles
from the main park entrance.
Both Of the camps are access
sible by a paved road. Turkey
run campground has sites for
both group camping and for
families and individuals.
The group sites, used by
boys scout troops and other
organizations, will accommo-
date from Is to 100 campers
each. They are equipped with
fireplaces, garbage receptacles
and tent sites. The family
sized sites are equipped with
fireplaces, tables, and garbage
receptacles. Water and COM
fort stations are provided on
a community basis. This
campground will accommo-
date 356 persons.
The campsites purposeiy
were placed on the ridges, SO
the valleys along the south
and north branches Of Guam
tico Creek could be left as
wilderness areas.
Nature Self-Taught
There already are 20 miles
of foot trails which go into
beautiful, mature forests
which embody SO species OF
trees and dense understory OF
vegetative cover which includes
81 varieties of herbaceous
plants. Many OF the trails
parallel the North and South
forks Of Quantico Creek. The
beds Of these streams have
cut to a depth of 200 feet In

EMPHASIS ON FOREST
Improved Prince William Forest
Now More Attractive for CAMPERS

While the emphasis is on
campers and forests at the
park, picnickers are far from
forgotten. Recently completed
was the Telegraph Road pic
mic ground, a beautifully
shaded area only 7 tenthS of a
mile from the main entrance.
Here, there is no table that
is not completely in the shade
at any time of day. In addi-
ton. the grounds offer fire
places. water and modern COM
fort stations. There is a shelter
building and a softball field.
The Pine Grove picnic
ground was one of the original
features of the park. Between
the two, they will accommodate
$50 persons.
Another Of the original fea-
lures of the park still retained
are the five group cabin camps.
These are the only facilities
in the camp for which there Is
a fee. The picnickers and fam
lily campers get everything,
even wood, free, but the cabin
campers have to pay. However,
it shouldn't break them. The
fee at present is only so cents
a head.
The five group cabins are
available for rental to organ
lied groups under sponsorship
of health and character-build-
ing organizations. From the
middle of June through Au-
gust these camps are rented
as full-time use as youth sum-
mer camps for such organiza-
tons as the YMCA, Salvation
Army, Campfire Girls and
Family and Child Services.

end use by such organized
groups as churches, boy and

must be a minimum Of 80 per-
sons in the group, however.
There are several lakes In
the park and these have been
stocked with black bass and
bluegills. Fishing is permitted
restricted only by the Virginia
game regulations.
The park has been told that
it must take over the function
formerly provided by the trail

Davenport says that the money
is available for this and ne
hopes to have it in operation
by next summer. Space for

WATER LIME

There are still two months
of good boating weather ahead
in my area, so I was surprised
to see the Carla'S trailer up on
blocks and Joe, her owner,
stripping her of accessory gear
as though he were planning
to lay her up for the winter
The Carla is a 17-foot out
board. She's gone through
eight active seasons but she's
still in mint shape. She's usu-
ally the first rig overheard
each spring and the last one
on our local water to be put
into winter storage.
Joe and his wife are avid
water skiers. They even bought
rubber diving suits and last
fall, along with a half dozen
other hardy fans, they were
still skiing when there was a
fringe of ice along the rivers
edge.

Prince William Forest Park,
which is practically on the
Washington Metropolitan
areas doorstep, places the
emphasis on the third word
In its name.
This beautiful sylvan set
ting, a part of the National
Capital Parks system, is only
80 miles from the District and
offers excellent family camp
ing facilities. But oddly
enough it seems to be better
known to campers from far
points than it is to residents
Of the Metropolitan area.
There is some reason for
this. Until its recent expan-
sion and improvement pro-
gram, inaugurated when its
present superintendent, L. T.
Davenport, was brought to
Prince william from Rocky
Mountain National Park 5
years ago, there wasn't much
to attract visitors.
Park Near Triangle
When Davenport arrived to
take over his new post, all
Prince William Forest Park
had to offer on its 1920 acres
was a few cabin camps-suit-
able for use by groups-one
picnic ground and a few miles
Of unimproved roads.
Although the Park, which is
located off Virginia State
Route 619. one mile west of
Triangle, has been in existence
since the National Park Serv-
ice took the land over from
the Resettlement Administra-
ton In 1884, little had beer
done to improve it or to try
to lure visitors to it. One OF
the first things Davenport was
asked to do when he arrived
was to make a master plan for
the park.
With the plan completed the
Interior Department lost little
time In putting in improve
ments. While Davenport's
master plan strongly empa.
sized the need of keeping the
largest area Of the park in It's
natural, heavily forested state
ample accommodations were
made for the family-typC
camper.
100 Tent Sites
The demands for this type
OF camping are growing by
thousands every year. Prince
william Forest Park has just
completed work on its new
Oak Ridge campground, help.
ing to ease the demand In
this area somewhat. It now
offers at Oak Ridge 100 in
dividual tent sites, each OF
which is equipped with q
table, fireplace, garbage re-
ceptacle and a place to angle
park vehicle at the individ-
ual tent site.
There are three modern
comfort stations, central wa
ter supplies and firewood al
Oak Ridge. Tent trailers are
permitted here but house
trailers, at present, are barred
everywhere in the park.
