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.

Hains Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hains Point was named after the US Army Corps of Engineers' Peter Conover Hains. Peter Conover Hains was the engineer who made the Tidal Basin design. At this point the Potomac River, Washington Channel, and Anacostia River all meet.

Ohio Drive Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Ohio Drive Bridge crosses the Tidal Basin, connecting East Potomac Park to the mainland near the Jefferson Memorial. This practical bridge links vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians to landmarks like the National Mall, Hains Point, and the Jefferson Memorial. Visitors can enjoy scenic views from the bridge, especially during the spring cherry blossom season.
