Recreational Boat Tour of the Potomac

Open the door to the beautiful Potomac River – the many islands, the animal life, the shimmering water. You will be able to see for yourself the swath of Nature that projects into the heart of DC. The boats are simple to paddle and stable. A certified guide will explain the equipment, show you the strokes, and lead you out on the water. Locations vary from the canal at Angler’s Inn, the islands upriver at Riley’s and Violtette’s Lock, or around Roosevelt Island and Key Bridge.
