One of my favorite DMV hideaways and celebrates one of my favorite presidents. Just across the Potomac
from Georgetown and nestled next to Arlington, this oasis of nature is a great spot for short but beautiful hikes and yet you still get plenty of “forest-bathing” —we did some birding and even saw deer on the island!

16MAY2025 The parking lot had a bit of empty spacey and the walk from the lot to the island was nice. The trail was good and easy.

Great day out with my mate. We had a delicious lunch and drinks. The nature around us was beautiful.

Great walking trail. Parking lot gets full but don't be tempted to park on the grass unless you want to get a parking ticket.

Pedestrian only - I love it. Very relaxing to walk. Have bathroom and water refill stations.

Beautiful hiking trails with absolutely stunning views. Many many parking spots/spaces are available. It was such a great spot for a hike with my husband and children too. Maybe mile and a half just walking around the island.
