Fort Lincoln was one of 7 temporary earthwork forts defending DC during the Civil War. Today, there are picnic pavilions where I believe the towers were and tons of fun climbing areas. (Hard to describe so check out my stories or the DC Outings Highlights for videos.) We will certainly be back this season with my husband as it fit the bill for a great socially distanced spot!
🅿Free and plug in Theodore Hagans Cultural Center into maps for the parking lot. Once you park, go up the stairs behind the bathrooms to find the fort!
🚻 1 portable restroom in the fort (2 restrooms by the tennis courts but locked)
😷 The Fort was empty on a weekday morning. Saw some people walking their dogs in other parts of the park. Check out more at the link below.
