We love Fort Hunt Park and go there often to walk the dog through the woods or on the loop road, go for a bike ride or a run. There are many pavilions you can reserve or just show up and hope no one else reserved. They have charcoal grills for use, bathrooms that are open most of the year. They often have Park Police horses in the stables and they are friendly and happy to see people. (Don't bring carrots or apples for them, though, its not actually very good for them) The park has battlements/fortifications that are fun to play on.

What was once a prisoner of war camp in World War 2, it's now a nice, safe place to run, walk, or cycle, or just relax.

All throughout the park, there are many parking areas and picnic pavilions that are sometimes closed for private events.
There used to be a stable for the horses used by the US Park Police, but it's no longer there.
The park is open to the public from sunrise to...
