Belle Haven Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Beautiful park located on the Mount Vernon Trail and thus accessible by hiking, running or bike. Equipped with benches and tables, plenty of space, and a beautiful view of the Potomac River, it invites you to have a picnic or at least take a break from doing sports. And "social facilities" are also available here. More information on opening times, etc. can be found on the information board that I have photographed.

Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve

Highlight • Natural

Dyke Marsh is teeming with diverse plant and wildlife. It's one of the largest mudflats in the DC area, made up of 380 acres (1.5 km2) of floodplain, swamp forest and tidal marsh that were formed several thousand years ago.

If you enjoy birdwatching, you'll love it here! The lower Potomac lies on the migration route for many waterfowl. Over 300 species of birds have been spotted at the wildlife preserve. You might catch a glimpse of beavers too.

Fort Hunt Park

Highlight • Historical Site

A fort was built on land originally belonging to George Washington's farm in the late 19th century. First used as part of coastal defense, later even as a top-secret army facility, the country is now used for recreation.
