Great place to go explore and see some local history. I went in the winter and it was still fantastic but if you went in the summer and took a picnic and maybe your bikes would be a fantastic weekend outing.

Really neat fort. Was surprised how large it was and it has a breathtaking view of the Potomac River. However the fort and exhibits in the park are very poorly maintained. Also wish there were more information podiums around. There were some cool buildings that I wanted to know more about but there were no podiums or park rangers around.

A great place to go learn about the history of coastal artillery on the Potomac. I went on a weekday morning in November and had the place virtually to myself. This place is huge, with lots to see from several different eras. Great views of the Potomac all the way to DC in the distance.

This park was a great find! So under rated because it is so close to DC. I went at sunset and the views of the Potomac were spectacular. I will be coming back again!

Great hidden gem just a few miles from National Harbor. The fort is quite large, much larger then I expected and you can explore quite a bit of the fort as well as other structures on the park grounds. I came with my wife, and daughters (2 &4) and we enjoyed our time here. There is also a great new playground.
