Small lot and trailhead for the old Pyrite Mine within Prince William Forest Park — shoot rusted mine portals, wooded trail corridors, stream crossings and mossy ruins. Best at golden hour or overcast for even light; autumn colors and spring greenery add interest. Parking at the lot; park has seasonal hours and a visitor center. Stay on marked trails and avoid entering shafts; expect moderate foot access and occasional crowds on weekends.
