Fort Washington State Park
Who We Are
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is the state agency entrusted with stewarding Pennsylvania’s public lands, natural resources, and outdoor recreation opportunities. Our dedicated team of conservation professionals, park and forest staff, scientists, and support personnel work to ensure that Pennsylvania’s natural heritage is protected, accessible, and sustainable for all.
Rich in modern recreational facilities and historical significance, Fort Washington blossoms with flowering dogwood in the spring.
Fort Washington State Park consists of 493 acres in eastern Montgomery County. It takes its name from the temporary fort built by George Washington’s troops in the fall of 1777, before heading to Valley Forge.
The park is popular with hikers and picnickers. Birders enjoy the seasonal migration of raptors from the Observation Deck.

We manage state parks and forests, support community recreation and conservation initiatives, provide science-based expertise on Pennsylvania’s ecological health, and promote outdoor experiences that enrich the lives of all residents and visitors.
