My wife and I decided to take the relatively short walk from Old Town to this lighthouse. I didn't look ahead at other reviews, and I have to say I was a little disappointed when I realized this is literally a house with a small rotunda on top serving as a lighthouse. The walk was nice, the scenery is beautiful, but the end result was just a tad underwhelming.

Nice area to walk or run but not much to see.

A hidden gem that everyone should check out. Great for kids, family, jogging and bike trails, scenic views and you can have a little picnic on its grounds. Some people go fishing there as well and a huge dog park. Great place to enjoy during the summer. The DC, Maryland, and Virginia boundary is also right there!
