Mawavi Road

This 0.9-mile unpaved hiking and biking route connects the Scenic Drive with Cabin Camps 2 (Mawavi) and 5 (Happy Land) in the southwest corner of the park. Along the way the road crosses South Fork Quantico Creek and South Valley Trail. Southeast of the bridge, the Civilian Conservation Corps built a small lake, now a popular fishing area. What does Mawavi mean? One of the early camp users created the name by tkaing the first two letters of Maryland, Washington, and Virginia.
