Lee's father, Revolutionary War hero Henry "Light Horse Harry" lee. The park also contains the remains of a Civil War Confederate artillery battery, constructed at the orders of Robert E. Lee to help keep the Potomac River out of the Union army's hands. The also have a nice information and nature center worth visiting. It you love boating of any kind it is an excellent place to go.
