Nature in Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. weaves a surprising amount of green and waterfront space into its urban fabric. The Georgetown Waterfront Park and Great Falls Park both follow the Potomac River, which is also framed by crossings such as Chain Bridge, Key Bridge, the Ethel Kennedy Bridge, and Long Bridge. Quieter retreats appear throughout the city — Lincoln Park and Logan Circle offer shaded open space, while the German-American Friendship Garden and the grounds of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and George Mason Memorial blend designed landscape with open air. Together these places reveal a city shaped as much by water and greenery as by monuments.
