View of the Potomac River from the Chain Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the best way to cross from Virginia over to the D.C./Maryland side: cycling over the Chain Cross Bridge. Offers fabulous views over the rough part of the Potomac, plus easy access to the C&O Canal towpath which takes you all the way to Georgetown.

Little Falls Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Little Falls Dam is a low dam built in the Potomac in 1959. It now separates the Upper Potomac River and Lower Potomac River, forming the Little Falls Reservoir.
Due to the undercurrent of the Potomac created by the dam's design, it is very dangerous for swimmers and boaters.
