Anacostia River and Beyond

A 5 mile hike along the Anacostia River. Meet outside the New Jersey Ave. & M Street SE exit of the Navy Yard/Ballpark Metro Station (Dept of Transportation exit). Outside you will see a Starbucks across the Street, otherwise you are at the wrong exit. We walk adjacent to the river and pass the Navy Yard facility. Then we venture on to visit Kingman Island where we take in the beautiful vistas of the island. Afterwards, we will board the FREE DC Streetcar to 5th and H. We walk to Union Market for lunch/snack. Afterwards, we continue to NaMa-Gallaudet Metro Station ending the hike. (This is a joint hike with the Northern Virginia Hiking Club).

Do not bring car, parking limited and expensive. Come on the Metro.

We hike at a pace of 2.0-2.5 mph when moving.

No park entry fee.
