My aunts son took three of us here just as the sun was setting. Very beautiful sun set over the water with interesting historical buildings to see. Seeing this Fort in the condition it’s in can amaze you and have you think to what could have happened there. The park is very large&clean a nice place to spend some quiet time in the evening.

Super cool to see if you’re in to history. Easy to get to a a free of change. Cute little national park gift shop. Look super eerie- especially in the rain - but was a really neat to see a part of history!

This is a great fort that has a lot of historical significance.

There are areas and parts of the Fort and park that are varying levels of decay and abandonment. I hope that those areas can be worked on in the future to help preserve both history and this wonderful green space!

It was very nice experience. I didn’t really expect such a significant military fort around such a developed area. Great place to walk and have a hike. It has small lighthouse and the fort is impressive. There’s a lot of historic buildings and it’s a beautiful setting on the Potomac river.

Visitor Center and access into the fort are closed during the Government shutdown, but the park is open and the trails and walkways are open and dogs are allowed on leash. Parking is currently very limited because the road entrance gate is closed but there is a little roadside parking at the gate.
