0.225 miles southwest of the southern end of Oxon Cove Bridge and about 120 feet east of the Potomac River. Oxon Cove Bridge is the bridge that I-295 crosses just north of the intersection with I-495. You can reach this stone on foot by following the partially paved path that leads to Oxon Hill Farm from either D.C. Village Lane in Washington or the intersection of Oxon Run Drive and Audrey Lane in Maryland. Leave the path when it turns away from Oxon Cove; then follow the shoreline trail to Oxon Cove Bridge, where you must cross underneath I-295 to get to the Potomac River. It may be simpler to park a car on the shoulder of I-295 southbound and walk down to the Potomac. From the endpoint of the large rocks that surround Oxon Cove Bridge, follow the shoreline about 1,000 feet southwest until you are just past due west of the Masonic Memorial (across the river) and the Oxon Cove Bridge is no longer visible behind you. If you are on a sandy beach with many car tires, you are in the right place. The stone is 120 feet to the east in the forest at the foot of a hill--from the shoreline, it is just possible to make out the cage protecting the stone, although less so in spring and summer.

Originally, this stone was next to the Potomac River at Fox Ferry Point. In 1969, it was placed some distance away to save it from water damage by the river. The National Register of Historic Places incorrectly states that the stone is east of Shepherd Parkway, when, in fact, it is west (and nearly a mile south) of the end of Shepherd Parkway.
