Photo of National Harbor

A cove created by dredging for gravel has been transformed into a large waterfront community on the Potomac. National Harbor includes the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, the largest hotel in the Washington area, along with restaurants, shopping, office space, and residences. The site features a museum, restaurants, and public art spaces, including the famous "Awakening" sculpture that for many years was located at Hains Point on the Potomac in Washington, D.C.

National Harbor has a marina and offers a water taxi service to Old Town Alexandria, Georgetown, and Mount Vernon. Annual events at National Harbor include a yacht show, food and wine festival, and summer concerts.

Guest Services operates six boathouses on the Potomac in the Washington area, including near Nationals Park, Key Bridge, National Harbor, the Wharf, Thompson's Boat House, and the Tidal Basin.
