Reviews of James Rumsey Monument
"I walk here almost daily and it’s so fun. There’s this huge rock near the wall and you can climb on top of it . It’s so fun to watch the trains go by then run to the train tracks to see it up close. Also just looking at the water is so fun. And also, it is so fun to take pictures sitting at the monument and then when you get bored, you can walk to the playground and relive your childhood. There’s a bunch of spotted lantern flies sometimes so that’s just the only bad thing"
"Awesome place. Great view of river and Potomac. It's definitely worth a short visit. Nice park area. If you are lucky you will catch a train crossing the bridge over the Potomac River right next to the monument"
"Free park with beautiful sites of bridges, riverfront and view of beautiful Maryland landscape from the WV side. Good mix of sunny and shady seating. Short trails that circle back to the park and to the Collusion Park which has a great selection of playground equipment for all ages. Parking is limited and no restroom facilities seen."
"I find peace here. Great overlook over the Potomac river and the beautiful Appalachian Mountains."
"The Rumsey Monument has some great views and a good bit of open grass to come and do whatever you want. There are a couple of pics tables and benches to use and a big rock which is easy to climb and relax on. This is my favorite place to run to and get to run the stairs to the monument for some more exercise. Overall a great place to hang out at on a nice day."
