Fort Hunt Park

Story

Fort Hunt Park is a public park located in Fort Hunt, Fairfax County, Virginia. It is administered by the National Park Service as part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. The park preserves the remains of the eponymous Fort Hunt, portions of which date to the time of the Spanish–American War. Remains of several of the fort's original batteries, including Battery Mount Vernon, Battery Robinson, and Battery Sater, and Battery Porter (named after Lt. James Porter, an officer who was killed at Custer's Last Stand at the Little Bighorn.), have been preserved, and may still be visited today. The structures have been stabilized enough that visitors are able to climb on them without difficulty. Besides the batteries, the battery commander's station still stands; in addition, a flagpole has been erected as a memorial to the intelligence officers who served at the fort during World War II.Fort Hunt Park is open from dawn until dusk, year-round; access is from the George Washington Memorial Parkway or from Fort Hunt Road.

CONS: Not much to do. Bring your own fun. PROS: lots of space for all the out door fun you want to have. Lots of Parking. Quite a few historical landmarks and peaces of history to view. Not all are photo worthy. Some are can be creepy as old stuff usually is. We brought our own food and fun and had a blast.

Nice park - great place for kids and dogs. In addition to walking path/pedestrian lane there are also some wooded trails.

It's great! I love the dirt trails in the back of the park. They are decent for the location if you don't have time to travel farther for trail running.

Great piece of history. It ties in with Fort Washington across the Potomac, so I suggest seeing both. More history at Fort Washington, but more "park" at Fort Hunt. Grounds are beautiful and is a great spot for family runs.
