Your Gateway to Washington Monument & the Appalachian Trail
This parking area provides access to Washington Monument State Park and its historic stone tower, the first completed monument dedicated to George Washington. The lot is the primary starting point for visitors wanting to hike the short but steep trail to the tower, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding region. It also serves as an access point for hikers on the Appalachian Trail, which passes through the park. A per-vehicle entrance fee to the park is typically required.
