National Harbor Waterfront & Capital Wheel

Highlight • Monument

Just a short detour across the Potomac Bridge from Alexandria. Here at the harbor there are some sights such as a Ferris wheel, playground in the shape of a man buried in the sand, some coffee houses... And the water is not so hot in summer!

Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Long (and quite nice) bridge between Alexandria and the National Harbour. It is important for bikers to have their own bike lane, separate from the roadway, but shared with pedestrians. The view from the bridge to both the National Harbor and the city with Reagan Airport is breathtaking.

Belle Haven Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Beautiful park located on the Mount Vernon Trail and thus accessible by hiking, running or bike. Equipped with benches and tables, plenty of space, and a beautiful view of the Potomac River, it invites you to have a picnic or at least take a break from doing sports. And "social facilities" are also available here. More information on opening times, etc. can be found on the information board that I have photographed.

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.
