Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail
Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail is part of the National Trails System. It is not a park unit.
This 680-mile-long trail follows the paths taken by George Washington's Continental Army and Jean-Baptiste de Rochambeau's Expédition Particulière during their 1781 march from Newport, Rhode Island, to Yorktown, Virginia. France's support in America's struggle for independence was vital to victory at Yorktown. The trail commemorates that victory and the lasting Franco-American friendship.
About under an hour from Philadelphia and 1.5 hours from New York by car.

Distances are approximate. Wilderness Atlas publishes a center point and an acreage for each area rather than a boundary, so each area is treated here as a circle of the same size and the figure is the gap to that circle.
