Past what seems to be the end of the Town of Quantico, nearly 150 boat slips line the water’s edge. Just beyond the east end of Potomac Avenue, sit two small buildings. One on either end of the road.

New buildings await finishing touches at Lunga Recreation Facility on Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, July 18, 2022. The three buildings will maintain their original purpose and serve as staff offices as well as the main area for reservations for pavilions, camp sites, and boat registration. Lunga Recreation Facility closed in 2012 due to the discovery of unexploded ordnance. Cleanup efforts are currently being made by Marine Corps Community Services Quantico and Navy Facilities Command Washington to restore Lunga as a safe and fun place for Marines and their families. The new Lunga Recreation Facility is expected to open in the near future. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Ashley Boster)
