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.

Beautiful park, beneath the Woodrow Wilson bridge

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!

From the Interior Dept. signage there: "Named for Thomas Ap Catesby Jones, founder of the Naval Academy and War of 1812 hero. As Commander of the Pacific Fleet, Jones landed at Monterey 1842, raising the Stars and Stripes under misapprehension of war with Mexico."
