Loved the cannons they had on display. The trees changing colors and the potomac in the background was a great picture. Easy walk on the trails and a nice wife open area for kids to run around. Parking is limited to about 10 spots depending on how other people park.

The parking lot is currently closed yet is still accessible. Im not sure how Covid effects our ability to safely park in a wooded area, but youre offered to brave passing cars and to park in a ditch.I had my Maltese and daughter with me. We could tell early on another hiker was in the area with a pet. After seeing the cannons and wanting to explore closer to the water, the smell of marijuana became quite strong. We decided not to meet our smoking hiker friend and left the trail early.

Had a great time with my puppy. Wish there was a bench or two, but a nice place for a 20 min walk

Amazing scenery. Paths are clear and well maintained. Loved the experience.

Beautiful area with interesting ties to history and scenic views. BUT minus a star for padlocking the bathrooms shut.

Many forts in DC are just piles of sand where a fort used to be. This fort has canons on display and info boards about the history. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by.The toilet block was closed.

Excellent park for Civil War buffs and historians. One or two stars for others. The two 15 Rodman shore batteries are outstanding but hard to get to there location. Parts of the trails are rough. Tree branches to climb over. Wonderful view of the Potomac. National Harbor and Jones Point park can be seen across the river. Wear good hiking shoes. A walking stick is also nice to carry.

My favorite park to bring the dogs! It’s quiet and the other trailgoers are so sweet and friendly. My favorite part is the beach at the end of the trail!!

Very interesting history and very unusual unusual canons on display! Otherwise, the park is rustic and minimalist.

A lot cooler than what I expected. Beautiful walking trails up to the guns. Its cool to see these huge guns and abandoned bunker just sitting in the woods. Youre in the middle of this historic place but all around is modern technology. Its surreal.

This is a local gem. Small park. Good solid hike. Great views. Great for a spontaneous trip.

Very well taken care of and the new signage was great!!

Great place to come and enjoy of a beautiful walk. Much more to discover at Fort Foote Park.

This place is local and convenient for a quick hike. The cannons are cool. The trail down to the river both ways is nice. Saw a lot of deer, and I was able to get close. However, there is prevalent trash.This is clearly the result of people who have no stake in this place, or their own community, which is sad..Not a bad spot for a quick workout hike and to see the cannons. It is a shame that a few bad and lazy people make it nasty for everyone else..

Not much to see here, trails lead to dead ends. Although seeing the cannon was cool.

I recently visited Fort foote state park in Fort Washington. some of the trails were in desperate need of repair. there were fallen trees in some areas, trash, and the one of building ruin was totally covered in grafitti and had empty beer and liquor bottles inside. overall it seemed as if this park had been forgotten about and is totally disgraceful the condition its in

Amazing Views of water. Head up the path to the north side.

Awesome place to explore going to come back with some recycling bags to clean couple areas.

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.

We walked through with our bikes September 2019. The highlights were the water views, eating paw-paws that had recently fallen, and the scenic beach at the North end.

Pretty, a little rugged getting down to the river and the trail really isnt marked.

Peace n Quiet

Be sure to find the cannons

Love it beautiful view

Nice area to walk and see some nuture

Very run down, very disappointed,I traveled an HR. I love history,but this one is gone.

Pretty sweet place. Secluded. Nice spot for a smoke. The cannons are cool.

This is a great little trail to walk down to the river. The historic military areas are nice but have become overgrown.

Love it here, Great place to escape the roar of the city

Nature at its best

Great place to explore and learn about history in the times before.

This is a fascinating park if you are interested in Civil War or US military history.

Really cool fort ruins and some great paths down to the shore. Easy place to hike, though there was some trash about that ruined it a little.

I was there stuck in the mud for 2 hours and while people showed up to enjoy the day, no one offered to help and worst of all not one park police came or passed by the entite time i was stuck. Maintenance is very low

Very relaxing and quiet

Great views of Dyke Marsh, New Alexandria, & National Harbor. Bald eagles abound.

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.

Attended during Easter, event was unorganized. We ledt the event disappointed.

Very run down. National Park Services need to step up their game.

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.

Nice place to walk on trails. Heads down to river.

Essentially nothing more than a field and some forest abutting the Potomac. The fortifications are run down and overgrown. Nice for a little piece of nature, not much for military history.

Great

Be prepared ,its really cold this time of the year.Be accompanied , not a good idea to visit alone.Lots of trails, trees, beautiful images.

Go see the cannons! Theyre cool, even if the barrels are full of trash.

Cool historial park great place to enjoy family outing

Good for walking and playing with your dogs.

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.

Beautiful place

A beautiful scenic place

Poorly maintained for a historical site. Its quite beautiful the closer you get to the ocean.

Great park although off the beaten path.

Given the standards set by nps this really needs a lot of work , it doesnt even have a proper access road or parking area . Certainly needs a lot of work

Nice park

This park is wonderful .

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

The bathrooms were out of order.

Not a very well kept park

Love it

Cool place

Needs a lot of maintenance and cleaning

Check out the big cannons here!

Great hike!

Really spacious

Nice beaches, Civil War ruins, and trails.
