Great open space close to DC, but this site needs some TLC. Interesting civil war site and access to the river with some nice trails to walk. There are two Rodman cannons on display in what looks like their original locations, but the fortifications have deteriorated a bit.

Interesting old fort built to protect Washington DC from naval attack during the Civil War. Earthworks and some stone ruins remain, along with several bottle guns. Allow an hour or so to tour this hidden piece of local history, and be prepared to walk in grass and dirt.

Fun couple of hours walking through the trails or finding the deer paths through the sheer drop. Historic cannons where you can actually touch them. Just take your trash and any animal waste with you.

Ive tried to go here twice, once at 630am and once at 730am both time the gate was locked when the hours clearly say open at 6 am

Historic land with big open spaces, easy access from the parkway. Needs lots of attention from the park services.

Site has 5 Pokéstops and 2 Gyms for Go players. Also a good equipment farm for Ingress players.
