My wife found two pairs of kids' boots in the parking lot. Please contact me with a description of the boots.

Want to explore someplace new? A quiet historical park along the scenic Potomac providing an excellent history of defending the capital and Alexandria's bustling port. The evolution of the big cannons is fascinating. The fort appears almost like a medieval castle, drawbridge and all. Lots of people picnicking and fishing along the shore. There's a picnic table along the shoreline, north end toward the city, just down from the lighthouse parking. The only reason for 4 stars is that there isn't a nice patio restaurant nearby along the Potomac, and National Harbor is usually a parking mess.

Great place to walk and relax near the water. Lots of options to sit out with a blanket, read, and picnic.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

While the park is a good place to walk and enjoy being around the water, the water side is very dirty with three very old tables, one old trash can. It needs some love. Signs with rules displayed would be helpful.That area really needs attention.

That is true that side of the park The River's Edge has a lot of trash and debris I think it's hard for them to clean it all the time because overnight more stuff just washes up it's sad because there's so much plastic and trash I don't like how they close down the road on the other part of the park by the playgrounds

Is there walking trails in park?

lamont robbins | Oct 1, 2021
G. Eddie Patten, Sr | Oct 1, 2021

Absolutely, there are several. I would ensure you bring some bug repellant, and if you are walking with pets ensure they are on a leash. Enjoy the trails and sites!
