Gravelly Point Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

The approach to Reagan National Airport is not easy, following the Potomac River with a late, deep turn to land. At this point the planes fly close enough to touch. Anyone who has anything left for aviation should come here.

View of the Washington Monument from the 14th Street Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Long bridge with a nice view of the mall. The bike and footpath (unfortunately it is a shared path) is quite narrow and busy. In addition, they are often downright clogged with many pedestrians so that you can only drive at walking pace. More difficult.

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.
